Nuvoco Vistas Corp. Ltd., India's fifth-largest cement group, launches its ground-breaking product, Ecodure Thermal Insulated Concrete, on this World Environment Day. The revolutionary material provides an eco-friendly solution to the challenges of global warming and rising indoor temperatures by enhancing energy efficiency and reducing cooling costs in buildings.
Ecodure Thermal Insulated Concrete is a technological breakthrough in construction materials, formulated with specialised aggregates that exhibit lower thermal conductivity than conventional concrete. This advanced blend helps reduce indoor temperatures by up to 3°C, providing a sustainable way to combat the rising heat associated with global warming.
Additionally, it also reduces the cooling load and Energy Use Intensity (EUI) in buildings, resulting in several benefits - a 5% decrease in building EUI, a 6% reduction in space cooling load, and a 7% decrease in cooling capacity requirement. Moreover, its reduced density contributes to a lighter building load, which can lower construction costs. Ecodure also helps reduce buildings' overall carbon footprint through embodied carbon reduction.
This product is ideal for residential, industrial, and institutional buildings. It will be readily available across India through Nuvoco’s RMX Plants, starting June 5, 2024.
