PHOTONIC META-CONCRETE

Photokrete, startup originated from European Project Miracle and the Impulsa-T programme (CSIC), commercializes new formulations of self-cooling concrete by radiative processes.

By tuning the concrete formulation and additions, a cheap material shows radiative cooling property.

The proposed solution is advantageous and fully scalable. Photokrete, aims to contribute to the construction of near-zero energy buildings, but can work in fields such as photovoltaics and communication technologies.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS

Remarkable savings in energy consumption for building cooling (depending on the climate zone, this can reach up to more than 70%).
Major impact on reducing CO₂ emissions due to reduced use of air conditioning.
Combat the Urban Heat Island effect. In heat waves, the use of Photokrete allows urban temperature reductions of close to 10 ºC.
