More sustainable than traditional ducts
More sustainable than traditional ducts
A comparative study delivers the undisputable proof: a ducting system built from calcium silicate boards has a smaller carbon footprint than the alternative ducting solutions in the market. Made from naturally abundant, responsibly sourced materials, these boards help to reduce a building's environmental impact. If you use our smoke extraction duct also for comfort ventilation, you get a double bonus: you use sustainable boards to design a sustainable HVAC system that needs less space and less fan energy.

6 steps to bring you a sustainable product
Ducts built from calsium silicate boards are already the more sustainable option. But Promat does not stop there. We use all our know-how and expertise to reduce the environmental impact of our boards along the product lifecycle. Watch how we take 6 clear steps with our Clear Change programme. Watch the video and discover how our Promat experts look for new ways to contribute to a safe and sustainable world.
Why COMBI-PROMADUCT is the most sustainable option
Calcium silicate-based for sustainability
Made from naturally abundant, responsibly sourced materials, our boards help to reduce a building's environmental footprint. They have undergone rigorous VOC testing and have achieved Indoor Air Comfort Gold certification, ensuring that they contribute to healthier indoor environments. This combination of sustainability and health performance makes our calcium cilicate boards a responsible choice for low carbon building projects.
EcoFlow Ventilation initiative
Our large-dimension ducts are designed to optimize the natural airflow in a building, significantly reducing the need for mechanical fans to transport the air through the ducting channels. Academic research shows that this innovation can lead to up to a 95% reduction in fan energy consumption if the system is used for daily comfort ventilation. This means you now can design and build a system that will substantially decrease your building’s operational carbon footprint.
Efficient material use for less impact
By designing 1 COMBI-PROMADUCT system instead of 2 separate systems, you save valuable space and reduce the amount of material required. This leads to decreased storage needs, less transportation, and simplified installation. Fewer ducts also mean less embodied carbon in your building, contributing to a more sustainable construction process overall.
EPD’s as proof
EPD’s as proof
All our boards are produced in a responsible and sustainable way. Our EPD’s give you a full picture of the entire lifecycle of our ducting boards, from sourcing and transporting our raw materials until recycling. The EPD offers full transparency and allows you to design a sustainable solution that meets today’s stringent building criteria.
A strong focus on circular materials
A strong focus on circular materials
Each calcium silicate board used in our ducting system comes with a Circular Content Declaration Form, providing transparent information on the percentage of circular material used and their environmental impact. This makes it easier for you to incorporate truly circular products into your projects, supporting your sustainability goals. Our boards also contribute to gaining credits in sustainable building certification schemes and benefit projects focused on using circular materials, aligning perfectly with today's construction’s push for circularity and eco-conscious design.
Sustainability Case: Pergamon Museum Berlin
Sustainability Case: Pergamon Museum Berlin
For the restoration of the iconic Pergamon Museum in Berlin, architects and engineers looked for the most sustainable solution for ventilation and fire protection. They selected the combined ducting solution to save space and lots of energy.
