ATMOVA receives Design Plus award for high quality of design
Messe Frankfurt and the German Design Council honoured ATMOVA’s high design standards by awarding it the distinction of the Design Plus award. The German Design Council is one of the world's leading competence centers for communication and know-how transfer in the design field. With Design Plus, the organizers recognize products in whose manufacture innovative materials or processing techniques have been used. The award-winning products combine innovative and sustainable materials, successful design and intelligent functionality in a particular way. The Design Plus title is one of the major non-sector-specific hallmarks of innovative design and indicates to the consumer that he is buying above-average product quality with special product benefits.
In the case of ATMOVA this is the aesthetic roof tile which, together with the long-lasting system, invisibly extracts heat and makes it available to meet the entire heating requirements of a building. This gives the consumer a novel opportunity to use renewable energy from an almost unused, freely available resource, the ambient temperature, as an energy source.
The award ceremony was held in Frankfurt am Main on June 17, 2009.
ATMOVA combines CO2 efficiency and design
On 13 October 2009 ATMOVA received the Design & Technology Award for CO2 Efficiency at the “Materialica” International Trade Fair in Munich. ATMOVA was certified with the cross-industry signet for its verifiable CO2 reduction. The Design & Technology Award distinguishes successful products that provide functional, aesthetic and manufacturing technical impulses using innovative materials and thus unify design and materials. This was the first time the MunichExpo Veranstaltungs GmbH awarded a prize in this category at the international trade fair for material applications, surfaces and product engineering. The Design & Technology Award for CO2 efficiency combines the three elements of design, material use and carbon dioxide efficiency in one.
ATMOVA was able to capture the award in this new category for CO2 efficiency by protecting natural resources. ATMOVA ensures sustainable carbon dioxide efficiency throughout the overall life cycle. 85 percent of the metals used in the manufacture of ATMOVA roof tiles are recycled. The innovative friction stir welding process used to prepare the copper requires minimal energy and preserves the environment along the way. Moreover, the release of fine particulates or CO2 during the operation of the ATMOVA system is excluded. The architectural high-grade and durable roof tiles recover emissions-free and imperceptible heat from the ambient air temperature and by means of a heat pump make this energy available for the entire heating requirements of house.
