The installation of anti-theft is not only a practice for owners of sumptuous villas, but also for ordinary people; thieves are targeting all: everyone has something valuable to the house (TV, jewelry, gold, etc..) From protect.

The best protection comes from the choice of professionals for the installation of security systems: it cost undoubtedly more than a do-it-yourself solution, but it provides more security and better solution that best suits your needs. In addition, other aspects are not to be underestimated assistance for the maintenance of the system and, at the beginning, the training to understand the operation.

Systems to counter theft in the home are many, and range from simple bar to roll up to sophisticated siren alarm which in many cases can be disabled by thieves. Now is the new antitheft (maybe).

A new polyester fabric developed by the Fraunhofer Institute in Berlin (where they invented the MP3) contains conductive wires coated with silver have a definite advantage over traditional anti-theft systems based on sensors and optical systems: the curtains that can be drawn from are less complex.

To improve the thermal efficiency of a dwelling, in addition to isolate it from the outside with an insulation system, you can perform a filling spaces. Among the most widespread techniques for realization of the infills, there is in fact one that has two layers of bricks separated by an air gap. Wanting to improve the thermal resistance of an existing perimeter wall, it can act on this air gap filling it with a suitable insulating material.

The realization techniques of filling the interspace are usually three and differ according to the type of injected material. 

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is a synthetic material (polymer), versatile, durable, fire resistant and corrosion, recyclable, and is the third most widely produced plastic in the world, after polyethylene and polypropylene. A recent independent research commissioned by ECVM (European council of vinyl manufacturers), a division of Plastics Europe, the European association of plastics manufacturers, representing 100% of the plastic manufacturers in Europe, the emergence of a truly result stunning: PVC, in relation to other natural materials such as wood and metal, as would be the best product in terms of cost-benefit analysis. The study shows that in three important areas of buildings such as doors and windows, flooring and pipes, PVC is not only the most "effective" as far as the cost of installation, but it is also the best choice for life-cycle compared to other materials.

Increasing energy efficiency in buildings has opened new scenarios and new problems in buildings, linked both to obtaining the results in terms of lower fuel consumption, both to the quality of interventions. If on the one hand, we see an increasing refinement of technologies and materials above work, the other will begin to experience problems on power quality on the finished works.

One example are the works of great architects and recent accomplishments that Legambiente has downgraded the field through the thermal images made in his report "All Class A". Weak links in the chain building today about this aspect are the installation, in the case of building renovation, or carrying out the work in case of a new building. And it is not of issues to be underestimated because the creation of a thermal bridge, due to an embodiment not accurate, can be affected in a significant manner accurate design and the use of materials with high technological content, with practical results on the front of ' energy efficiency very disappointing.

The frames made of PVC, a difference of a window frame made with traditional materials, have smooth surfaces and satin, which absorb less damp, dirt, grease, making maintenance simple and functional.

The choice of the type of door must also be a valid guarantee for a safe and inviting, well protected and isolated from the noise and the external environment. Choose to install PVC windows and doors means to enter our homes; Technology that protects from the rain: PVC is a material that does not absorb water and its seal is also in adverse weather conditions, technology that reduces pollution and increases the energy-saving production of PVC occurs with a reduced use of energy, choose to install in their homes PVC windows guarantee both a high thermal insulation high energy savings demonstrating that the PVC is a good reference point for those who want to drastically reduce the cost to heat and cool their homes. Technology that isolates from the noise and defending against a fire unlike other plastics, PVC is a self extinguishing material and, as such, does not contribute to fuel the flame.

The new dwelling will be full of living comfort: the trend is now clear and aims, through specific regulations, to ensure "products" building quality.

After you have turned their attention to energy saving measures needed to reduce consumption and pollution, it is now looking to improve the sound insulation measures are necessary especially in places where traffic and city life create disturbance to residents.

Italy, through two measures before the Council of Ministers implements Directive 2002/49/EC to improve the acoustic comfort in buildings.

ITHACA UNI and sign the protocol on the evaluation of environmental sustainability and energy efficiency of buildings.

The signing of the agreement, to be followed by the drafting of a "reference practices" that will have the seal of UNI, is carried out as part of MADE Expo, the international fair of architecture and construction.

The purpose of the Protocol, signed by the President and the President of UNI Piero Tower of Ugo Cavallera ITHACA, is, first, to reunify into a single reference document the different approaches and experiences of certification of environmental sustainability of buildings developed over the years, the Regions with reference to the "Protocol ITHACA."

Environmental certifications for businesses, expense or investment? This is probably the first question that arises a businessman facing the voluntary choice to embark on a path that leads to the acquisition of recognized environmental certification at European level. But to answer you must first understand what exactly the environmental certification and how to obtain it.

To fully understand the utility is well to remember that it is used, quite naturally, in what we might call cultural evolution of the concept of environment and sustainability. In fact exceeded the remedy of the '70s and '80s prevention we have come to more complex concept of sustainable development of the '90s. The same law with the passing of the years has increased its pressure on the industry to adopt more environmentally friendly processing technologies for the environment. And it is then, even before environmental awareness, the law the first lever that pushes the industry to adopt more stringent and effective systems. It is in this context that fits the growing success that they are enjoying the certification of environmental management which, remember, are voluntary membership.

The figures tell us that the decline in the construction industry in recent months are really worrying: in the first half of 2012, construction funds have counted 240 thousand jobs burned by the crisis, with 45,000 businesses that have closed their sites. Overall, it is estimated that by now the loss of jobs touches the 600 thousand units, to which must be added a large number of professionals now unemployed, who represent the armature.

The situation seems really black, but everything seems to be lost on companies that have managed to resist. In fact there are two areas within the building industry who have maintained a positive sign: energy conservation and green building.
