Green & Sustainable Buildings – GRIHA-Ready Coating for Net-Zero Projects
Pain Point: As the push towards sustainable infrastructure accelerates, buildings must meet stricter energy-efficiency standards. Traditional roofing systems often absorb significant solar heat, contributing to:
- Increased energy consumption for cooling and heating
- Higher carbon footprint from excessive HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) reliance
- Uncomfortable indoor environments, reducing occupant well-being
- Increased maintenance costs for buildings in hot climates
For buildings striving to meet Net-Zero Energy goals, addressing these challenges is crucial to reduce energy consumption and environmental impact.
LuminX Solution: LuminX’s solar reflective roof coatings are GRIHA-ready, providing a high Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) ≥110, making them an ideal solution for Net-Zero Projects. These coatings reflect up to 80% of solar radiation, lowering heat absorption and contributing to energy-efficient, green buildings.
Performance Metrics from On-Site Installations
| Research Data | Before LuminX | After LuminX Application | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roof Surface Temperature | 60–75°C | 35–45°C | 25–30°C reduction in surface temp |
| Indoor Ambient Temperature | 45–48°C | 37–40°C | 5–8°C reduction in indoor temp |
| Cooling Energy Usage | Higher due to excessive heat | 20–25% reduction in cooling load | Significant reduction in energy demand |
| HVAC Load (Air Conditioning) | High, energy-intensive | Lower due to passive cooling | Reduced cooling-related energy consumption |
| CO2 Emissions | Higher, from increased energy use | Lower, contributing to Net-Zero | Reduced carbon footprint |
| Return on Investment (ROI) | N/A | ~18–24 months | Faster ROI through energy savings |
| IGBC Indian Green Building Certification & GRIHA | Not GRIHA-compliant | GRIHA and IGBC compliant | Aligns with sustainable building goals |
| Durability in Harsh Weather Conditions | Minimal to moderate durability | 5+ years durability | Long-lasting protection against extreme weather |
