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 reducing 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
