More about this product

Energy used to power, heat and cool buildings is responsible for up to 80% of CO2 emissions in cities. By designing and retrofitting buildings with thermal insulation and advanced roofing systems to improve energy efficiency, there is a unique opportunity to speed up the transition to the cities of the future.

Holcim - leading company in sustainable building solutions - stands ready to support its customers with energy-efficient solutions for new projects and existing buildings.

  • With the Elevate and ZinCo brands, Holcim provides a wide range of energy-efficient, high-performance green roofing systems. Green roofs remove heat from the air, and acting as insulation, they can reduce surface temperatures by 30-40% compared to conventional roofs. While reducing a building’s cooling and heating needs, they also bring nature into cities, allow biodiversity to thrive, and provide stormwater management.

  • Made of up to 95% air, Airium™ is an extremely lightweight mineral-based insulating foam. For both new builds and green retrofits, it is 100% recyclable, fire resistant and durable, and can be used in roofs, walls, floors and terraces, as well as inside concrete blocks.

  • PRB External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) are multilayer insulation solutions applied to a building’s exterior surfaces that improve energy efficiency and reduce heat loss by 20-30%.
