Energy efficiency

DEVELOPING ENERGY-EFFICIENT SOLUTIONS for GREENER cities

The construction sector accounts for 38% of our world’s greenhouse gas emissions, with 70% generated by buildings in use. With our Solutions & Products, from roofing and insulation to green retrofitting we are making buildings more energy-efficient and durable.

State-of-the-art technologies to reduce energy costs and emissions

Inadequate insulation results in a high amount of unnecessary heating-related emissions. To overcome this problem, Holcim has developed a wide range of products and green building solutions to enhance energy efficiency. Our brand portfolio includes SES, offering bio-based insulation foam and Cantillana insulation boards. From our innovative roofing solutions to our Airium^TM insulation, we are reducing energy usage and approaching net-zero throughout the construction process.

Driving sustainable construction

Our Houses of Tomorrow initiative includes five sustainable, affordable housing projects that are fully adapted to the local climate and material availability. Using our most innovative building solutions, we drastically reduced the homes’ carbon footprint.
