Low Carbon Life Alliance - Zero Energy House "Carbon" Research: Green Renewal of St. Paul's Overall Doors and Windows

"A Breathable House" is the world's first zero energy house renovation micro documentary jointly produced by Youju and Jiutianyun. Recently, the "Breathing House" Low Carbon Life Alliance has officially issued a call to the outside world, aiming to showcase new models of low-carbon and environmentally friendly life, and call on more low-carbon and environmentally friendly enterprises with green and intelligent manufacturing to join the Low Carbon Life Alliance, driving and influencing various sectors of society to promote the achievement of the dual carbon goal.

The first batch of low-carbon lifestyle alliance brands have officially made their debut. Sinpolo's overall doors and windows were one of the first members of the Environmental Pioneer Alliance.

20 years ago, Sinpolo's overall doors and windows were showcased with exquisite swordsmanship. From the innovative proposal of the "overall door and window model" to the "smart production", the upgrades of Sinpolo's overall doors and windows are closely related to consumer demand and industry trends.

In 2023, Sinpolo's overall doors and windows have become one of the first low-carbon lifestyle alliance brands for "breathing houses". Serving 500000 Chinese households annually, Sinpolo's overall doors and windows, we look forward to the public's better understanding of the zero carbon lifestyle advocated by "breathing houses", and working together with the brand to embrace the power of low-carbon development and transformation, creating green living and a better life.

In order to help people from all walks of life better understand the mystery of green emission reduction doors and windows, the "Breathing House" column invited Wu Guohong, Chairman of Sinpolo's overall doors and windows, to share. The following is a conversation between Wu Guohong and us.

Low carbon and energy conservation in progress, benefiting the country and the people, promoting healthy living aesthetics

Tencent Home · Shell: "Breathable House" As the first zero carbon and environmentally friendly housing renovation demonstration case in China, did the Sinpolo's overall doors and windows encounter any problems during the participation in the renovation process? What system solution has been provided for the difficulties in renovation?

Wu Guohong: As the first zero carbon and environmentally friendly housing renovation demonstration case in China, the "breathing house" renovation plan is also very forward-looking and sustainable in the industry. We are honored that Sinpolo's overall door and window products have been selected as a designated door and window brand, and we have the opportunity to jointly participate in exploring the technical route of zero carbon buildings and contribute to green living.

We did encounter many difficulties during the process of participating in the renovation. Firstly, Ms. Tian Pujun, the homeowner, has incorporated the original intention of natural environmental protection into the renovation, and has very high requirements for the performance and appearance design of door and window products. At the same time, the house is located halfway up the mountain, and the on-site environment is relatively complex. The size of the door and window products is large, making transportation and lifting extremely difficult, greatly increasing the difficulty of installation. In addition, the pace of various home renovation construction projects is very tight, which also puts higher requirements on the delivery time of our products.

In this housing renovation, Sinpolo's provided a high-quality, energy-saving and environmentally friendly overall door and window solution. In terms of product performance, it utilizes advanced technologies such as excellent insulation and sound insulation performance of system doors and windows. Through its own one-stop old window renovation service and professional team's multi-party efficient docking, it strives to present the homeowner's energy-saving and emission reducing living concept and healthy lifestyle as scheduled, reflecting the aesthetic design of home space.

Before the renovation, Miss Tian Pujun personally visited St. Paul's to inspect and gain a deep understanding of the low-carbon door and window production process, and selected products for the new home

Tencent Home · Shell: "A house that can breathe" is a cutting-edge living demonstration sample, but there are still a few consumers in China who have the same demand for whole house renovation. According to data, the current penetration rate of energy-saving doors and windows in China is 0.4%, and some European and American countries have reached 85%. What methods will Sinpolo's overall doors and windows use to promote the popularization of energy-saving doors and windows in China?

Wu Guohong: Green, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly is a major trend in the industry's development, and the preferred choice for energy-saving and environmentally friendly doors and windows is system doors and windows. However, the popularization of energy-saving doors and windows in China is still far from enough. This requires the entire industry to take action, work together, cultivate the market, and make more people aware of the importance of systematic doors and windows.

The Sinpolo's system doors and windows are integrated into the home environment, bringing a green life that combines aesthetics and quality

Due to the relatively high price of system doors and windows compared to ordinary doors and windows, the product popularity is relatively slow, which will be detrimental to the development of the door and window industry. This year is the 20th anniversary of St. Paul's, and we launched the "Rocket" system window product with a very high cost performance ratio. The national unified retail price is 788 per square meter, which is sound insulation, energy saving, beautiful and durable. I believe this is a good news for consumers. We hope to use enterprise subsidies to enable dealers to quickly promote and popularize system doors and windows, while also enabling more people to use high-quality doors and windows that can save a lot of energy and live a quality life. Sinpolo's looks forward to truly implementing the benefits of the country, the people, and green safety, and helping to achieve the national low-carbon strategy.

Breakthrough exploration of doors and windows, creating a safe and comfortable living environment

Tencent Home · Shell: If we compare a house to a cell, doors and windows are the layer of cell membrane that connects the indoor and outdoor areas, which is important for balancing the inside and outside and resisting external hazards. How does Sinpolo's overall doors and windows achieve the function of "cell membrane", and what breakthroughs and achievements have been made in product performance and technology?

Wu Guohong: As an important component of building envelope structures, doors and windows play an important role in energy conservation. According to relevant data, the area of doors and windows accounts for only about 1/7 of the total building area, while the energy consumption of doors and windows accounts for more than half of the building's energy consumption. The reasonable application of doors and windows is of great significance for green buildings. In addition, doors and windows are not only sensitive parts of energy gains and losses, but also related to lighting, ventilation, sound insulation, and facade design, which puts higher requirements on the energy-saving of doors and windows. Its energy-saving treatment is to improve the insulation and sealing performance of doors and windows, in order to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in houses.

Sinpolo's overall door and window services cover high-end residences and villas

Relying on a strong independent research and development team, Sinpolo's door and window products not only achieve perfect sound insulation at 38 decibels, but also have water tightness of 6 levels, air tightness of 8 levels, and wind pressure resistance of 9 levels, all of which meet the highest level of the national aluminum profile and door and window product quality inspection and testing center standards. Recently, Sinpolo's door and window products have passed the EU CE certification, and their product designs have won multiple international design awards. Among them, the Milan 116 lifting translation system window won the silver award of the 2023 US MUSE Design Award, the Berlin series fully concealed fan minimalist bridge sliding window won the 2023 German IF Design Award, and the light luxury series trackless drift door also won two major honors: the 2023 German IF Design Award and the German Red Dot Award.

Sinpolo's has always been committed to providing consumers with efficient, energy-saving, safe and environmentally friendly system door and window solutions through breakthroughs in product performance and technology, creating a safe and comfortable living environment.

Tencent Home · Shell: What achievements have been made in green production of Sinpolo's overall doors and windows? What do you think green production capacity means for the future development of enterprises?

Wu Guohong: Green production is the future of enterprise production, and green production capacity is the competitiveness of enterprises. In terms of green production achievements, Sinpolo's is the first enterprise in the industry to propose the renovation of old windows. From production to product delivery, it truly achieves green and low-carbon throughout the entire product cycle and industry chain.

Sinpolo's adopts automated production lines, greatly reducing carbon emissions in manufacturing production. VOC harmful substances are 100% recycled to reduce secondary pollution to the atmosphere. At the same time, production efficiency increased by 48% and energy consumption decreased by 18.7%. In terms of products, ultra-low energy consumption has also been achieved. Traditional single-layer glass for windows has a K value of 5.4, while Sinpolo's uses automotive grade low radiation tempered glass, The K value dropped to 1.7. The thermal insulation strip used in the product has a thermal conductivity coefficient of 1/533 that of traditional aluminum alloy doors and windows, thereby achieving significant energy savings in the product.

Sinpolo's Modern Intelligent Production Base

Revitalization strategy towards the future, assisting in the implementation of high standards for "dual carbon"

Tencent Home · Shell: According to your observation, what is the current awareness of green emission reduction in the home industry? What are the new green and environmentally friendly layouts for the future of Sinpolo's overall doors and windows in production, design, and so on?

Wu Guohong: Currently, with the promotion of the national dual carbon strategy, the awareness of green emission reduction in the home furnishing industry is gradually increasing. This year, the Ministry of Commerce and 13 other departments issued a notice on several measures to promote home consumption, strongly supporting the renovation and partial upgrading of old houses. This has injected a strong shot into Sinpolo's decision to continue deepening the major strategic layout of renovating old windows.

The performance of old building doors and windows is poor, and urban renewal is urgent. However, it is difficult and correct to do the stock housing market. Sinpolo's took the lead in laying out the old window renovation track in 2019, leading the industry in launching old window renovation services. By developing standardized window renovation process details and patented technology products, it ensures a 2-hour quick window replacement without damaging the decoration, allowing for easy replacement and perfect delivery. Old windows are rejuvenated, benefiting the country and the people. I believe that doing a good job in energy conservation and low-carbon for system doors and windows is beneficial to the country. Both safety and sound insulation are beneficial to the people. Sinpolo's is actively responding to policy guidance, continuously promoting the popularization of services for "renovating old windows", and using safe and environmentally friendly doors and windows to help achieve high standards of "dual carbon".

Sinpolo's "Renovation of Old Windows" effectively solves 7 major pain points of old windows, including lack of sound insulation and safety

At the same time, Sinpolo's adheres to long-term principles and has only done well in doors and windows for the past 20 years. In the next 20 years, we will continue to focus on door and window products. In the future, Sinpolo's Home Furnishings Group's six major manufacturing bases nationwide will adhere to green development, actively explore innovative paths for green doors and windows, and use this to accelerate brand upgrading.

Tencent Home · Shell: Please use three keywords to envision your vision for a zero carbon lifestyle in the future.

Wu Guohong: "Low carbon," "environmental protection," and "sustainability" are my vision and expectations for a zero carbon home life in the future. We look forward to more low-carbon and environmentally friendly home brands with green and intelligent manufacturing joining the ranks to help achieve the dual carbon goal.

Conclusion:

When we repeatedly ask the answer to low-carbon living, Sinpolo's overall doors and windows, as a member of the "breathing house" low-carbon living alliance, should be a must-have. Imagine that more than half of the energy consumption in a house can be saved through door and window products, so that we can gradually move from low-carbon to zero carbon. Investing in green development and leading the future value of the door and window industry with the revitalization of old windows, we believe that on this difficult and correct path, the overall doors and windows of St. Paul's will continue to improve.
