LuminX’s participation in IEFK 2025 shows its dedication to aligning with Kerala’s ambitious decarbonisation goals.LuminX secured a prominent spot at the exhibition arena, stall no 21, where we demonstrated our flagship product “High SRI Paint”with a solar reflectance value of over 120.We also took the opportunity to showcase yet another brilliant product “REFLECTON”, specially catering to the needs of the bi-facial solar panel industry.Our stall attracted industry experts, policymakers,residential home owners, students, architects and other professionals.The event provided an unique opportunity to interact with a wide variety of audience, including teachers, students, representatives from government agencies like Kerala State Electricity Board and Agency for New and Renewable Energy Research and Technology(ANERT).
Key Highlights of LuminX’s participation
Product demonstration
LuminX displayed its Cool roof paint, emphasizing its ability to reduce roof surface temperatures by up to 20°C. The product’s nano-enhanced reflective properties and low-emissivity pigments were demonstrated through live comparisons with conventional paints, showcasing its superior heat-rejection capabilities. Visitors could observe the stark temperature difference using thermal imaging devices provided at the booth.
Technical Session Contribution:
The company’s technical team participated in a panel discussion titled “Sustainable Cooling Technologies for Kerala.” They presented data from real-world applications, illustrating how CoolCoat reduced indoor temperatures by 8-10°C in Kerala’s humid climate, leading to a 15-20% drop in air conditioning costs. This aligned with the festival’s focus on practical decarbonization solutions.
Interaction with Stakeholders:
Luminx engaged with local authorities and panchayat representatives, discussing potential collaborations to implement cool roof initiatives in public buildings. This initiative resonated with the Kerala State Disaster Management Authority’s (KSDMA) ongoing efforts to promote cool roofing as a heat mitigation strategy, incorporating it in its district wise heat management plans.
Awards and Recognition
During the festival’s energy conservation awards ceremony, luminx received a commendation for its contributions to energy efficiency in Kerala’s urban and rural sectors. The recognition underscored the company’s impact on reducing the urban heat island effect, a growing concern in the state.
Relevance to Kerala’s Energy and Climate Goals
Kerala has been grappling with rising temperatures, exacerbated by rapid urbanization and global warming. The state recorded extreme heat events in 2023, prompting a surge in demand for sustainable cooling solutions. luminx’s participation in IEFK 2025 aligned seamlessly with Kerala’s vision of reducing energy imports by 20% by 2030 and promoting renewable energy and efficiency measures.
Impact and Future Prospects
