BENEFITS / SUSTAINABILITY

PHOTONIC MORTAR REDUCES HEAT BUILD-UP AND ENERGY DEMAND.

Key benefits:

• Reduces energy consumption associated with air conditioning.
• Indirectly reduces CO₂ emissions.
• Supports urban adaptation strategies to combat global warming.
• Aligns projects with international climate goals.
• Offers significant global potential through large-scale implementation.

SURFACES THAT IMPROVE COMFORT AND SAFETY, ESPECIALLY FOR THE MOST VULNERABLE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.

Key benefits:

• Radiation management: Transforms surfaces that previously accumulated heat into passive emitters that radiate heat outward.
• Health protection: Reduces heat stress in children and older adults.
• Urban Livability: Increases the use of public spaces year-round, even during heat waves.
• Holistic Well-being: We promote livable environments that protect people’s health, animal welfare, and the vitality of green spaces.

OPTIMIZATION OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION THROUGH SCALABLE AND PERMANENT SOLUTIONS.

Key Benefits:

• Energy Savings: Significantly reduces energy consumption (up to 70%) in air conditioning systems.
• Reduced Dependence: Decreases the need for active cooling equipment.
• Scalability: Competitive production costs for widespread application in any project.
• Extreme Durability: Maintains its thermal properties intact without degradation from UV radiation or weathering.

IMPROVED MICROCLIMATE FOR MORE SUSTAINABLE AND COMFORTABLE CITIES.

Key Benefits:

• Mitigates the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect.
• Reduces surface and ambient temperatures in the surrounding area.
• Improves the microclimate and comfort in plazas, streets, and industrial sites.
• Technology scientifically validated by CSIC (Spanish National Research Council), UPNA (Public University of Navarre), and EHU (University of the Basque Country / Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea).

CITIES ACCUMULATE AND RETAIN MORE HEAT THAN THEIR SURROUNDINGS DUE TO MATERIALS SUCH AS ASPHALT AND CONCRETE, LACK OF VEGETATION, AND HUMAN ACTIVITY. THIS PHENOMENON RAISES AMBIENT TEMPERATURES, REDUCES THERMAL COMFORT, AND INCREASES ENERGY DEMAND, ESPECIALLY DURING HEAT WAVES.

Key benefits:

• Mitigates the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect.
• It lowers the surface and ambient temperatures of the surrounding area.
• Improves the microclimate and comfort in public squares, streets, and industrial sites.
• Technology scientifically validated by CSIC (Spanish National Research Council), UPNA (Public University of Navarre), and EHU (University of the Basque Country / Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea).
