3 POTENTIAL The three pillars of energy efficiency - Reducing energy loss - Using energy efficiently - Producing energy efficiently The three pillars of sustainability - Economically efficient - Environmentally friendly - Resource-efficient Sustainable buildings are being sought after: - A 2008 study by the consulting firms, Ernst &Young Real Estate and Lang LaSalle - If you don t play, you have already lost Important: This applies equally for investors, owners, and users - In the future, rental opportunities will play a much more significant role than the construction value REHAU - Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Construction - September 20, Page 9 REHAU - Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Construction - September 20, Page 10 EVERYBODY HAS TO PARTICIPATE Smart action: - The best form of sustainability is connected thought. Holistic Integrated In system solutions The three pillars of energy efficiency Sustainable integrated systems from REHAU Interaction of planning, complete system, and competent execution REHAU - Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Construction - September 20, Page 11 REHAU - Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Construction - September 20, Page 12 3

4 SUSTAINABLE TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS FOR CLIMATE PROTECTION REDUCING ENERGY LOSSES The three pillars of energy efficiency The main works under one roof Optimization of the building shell under technical and economic aspects with REHAU systems REHAU GENEO - The new dimension in window construction The fully-reinforced window profile made from the high-tech material, RAU-FIPRO The innovative material recipe by REHAU offers the highest level of stability and torsion rigidity as well as static properties that were previously not possible without steel. Reducing energy losses Using energy efficiently Producing energy efficiently GENEO PHZ is available as an additional developmental stage. GENEO PHZ has become a certified window solution for passive houses by incorporating foam inserts and a special middle seal. Building envelope Building technology Energy supply *Reduction of the energy loss in windows by changing out the old wooden/vinyl windows from the 80s (Uf=1.9, Ug=3.0) to windows made from GENEO profiles (Uf=0.91, Ug=0.5, window size123 x 148cm) REHAU - Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Construction - September 20, Page 13 REHAU - Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Construction - September 20, Page 14 USING ENERGY EFFICIENTLY Optimization of the distribution of heat through a surface heating/cooling system Minimalenergy consumptionand high level of comfort with REHAU systems The use of advanced technologies for utilizing geothermal heat and solar energy - Geothermal energy probes or collectors - Reduction of operating costs by approx % - Low temperature system with fluid temperatures of C (80 95F) (depending on the design) - Possible use of alternative energy sources (GEO Heat Pump) - Special solutions for renovations For all areas of use in residential and office buildings Elaborate solutionsfor structural elements, floor, and wall surfaces For heating and cooling in wet and dry construction. Save 63% of your energy costs WITH THE ENERGY COMFORT SYSTEM - Heat pump applications (GEO, AERO, AQUA) In conjunction with floor heating and cooling systems and / or Concrete core temperature control - Solar thermal energy - Air and geothermal heat exchanger Heat pump Reduction of the demand for primary energy and, thus, exhaust gases (e.g.: CO 2 ).

5 System cycle of solar thermal energy Vessels, frame, and facade collectors for water purification and additional heating support. Collectors High performance/ efficiency Long life Hail-safe clear solar safety glass Easy installation Tested quality Wind and snow-proof construction Modern, attractive design Distinguished with the blue angel System cycle ground/air heat exchange system Alternative possibility for heating and cooling via a controlled ventilation system, particularly in low-energy and passive energy houses. Ground/Air heat exchange system, ECOAIR Hygienic fresh air through antimicrobial inner layer of the pipe PP material with optimal heat transfer High longitudinal stiffness for securely diverting condensation System from the point of suction to heat recovery Improvement of the air quality in the building Reduction of heating costs through prewarming of the exterior air Pleasant cooling effect in the summer 85 F Intake temperature on the suction element 5 F Intake temperature on the suction element 55 F Ground temperature 45 F Ground temperature 60 F Discharge temperature at the end of the air/geothermal heat exchanger Summer 35 F Discharge temperature at the end of the air/geothermal heat exchanger Winter Heating with a solar unit REHAU - Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Construction - September 20, Page 17 REHAU - Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Construction - September 20, Page 18 System cycle geothermal heat / geothermal energy - Energy resources that are available day and night and during any type of weather free of charge. Energy resources that are - continuously renewed through the inside of the earth and - through the suns rays on the surface. RAUGEO probe / collect - No welded connections in the ground, thus the highest level of operational safety - Due to the material, PE-Xa, no hazard from notches or score marks - Optimal security when inserting into the drilled hole because the probe foot is protected with a special resin - Easy insertion, even in the smallest drilled holes - Heat storage up to 95 C (200F) possible - Cost-effective heating and cooling through the ground RAUGEO Manifold RAUGEO Probe Heating/ Cooling Heat Pump RAUGEO Collector Geothermal heat collectors Use in new construction (especially in low-energy houses) as well as in the renovation of older construction Use if the appropriate land area is available and deep drilling is not possible Horizontal installation at a depth of approx.: 1.50m (5 ft) Normally, sandbed-free installation is possible REHAU - Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Construction - September 20, Page 19 REHAU - Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Construction - September 20, Page 20 5

6 Geothermal heat collectors Geothermal heat probe Geothermal heat collectors Geothermal heat probe Geothermal Helix probe Normally used in new construction, but also possible if there is good access in the buildings Used if there is little land area Vertical installation at a common depth of approx.: m ( ft) High level of effectiveness through the material properties geothermal heat probe complete without welding joints Use in new construction (especially in low-energy houses) as well as in the renovation of older construction Use if inadequate land area is available and deep drilling is not possible 5m drillhole with spiral drill; placed in the probe and buried in the ground Telescopic design allowing it to be pulled out from approx. 1.2 to 3.0 m and, thus, can be transported and installed very easily REHAU - Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Construction - September 20, Page 21 REHAU - Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Construction - September 20, Page 22 Comparisons show that the annual total costs for heat pumps are significantly less than those of conventional heating systems. Example: Single-family house, new construction, 180 m², heating need 15,000 kwh, cost per year (Comparitive calculation based on a period of 15 years) Geothermal heat collectors Geothermal heat probe Fuel costs Operating/maintenance costs (chimney sweeps, installers) Acquisition costs (heating system, boiler/ distributed through the usage fee) Geothermal Helix probe Energy piles Use in new construction for statically necessary bored pile foundations The RAUGEO collect PE-Xa pipe is also excellently suited for the integration in foundation piles. Because the foundation piles, and thus, the associated civil engineering are necessary, only minimal additional costs are acrued through the integration of the system.
