Efficiency, sustainability & Cleantech

The structural ability and resource efficiency of the Cobiax technology leads to an improvedperformance of concrete structures as the weight reduction also has a beneficial effect onthe vertical load bearing elements and foundations.

The global ecological footprint exceeds the worlds bio-capacity by 30%

About 50% of the global energy requirement is needed for buildings.

With an assumed life-cycle of 50 years, about 60% of a buildings energy requirement isneeded for conditioning and operation. 40% is consumed by the embedded materials.

Concrete slabs have the highest weight and volume share of a building's structure.

With the use of Cobiax, the environmentally relevant toxic pollutants related to concrete

slabs such as CO2are reduced by 20%. This is a relevant contribution for reaching theclimate protection goals set by governments worldwide.

Related to an entire building, the reduction of the environmentally relevant toxic pollutantsrelated to building materials is up to 10% if using Cobiax (for an assumed building life-cycleof 50 years).

In the project development and design phase of buildings, open-space concepts can berealized more efficiently with the use of Cobiax.

The holistic consideration of a buildings life-cycle allows to identify the economical andecological sustainability resulting from the use of Cobiax.

Criteria related to sustainability and environmental performance will influence the economicvaluation of properties in the future.

The Cleantech approach finds an ideal application in Cobiax.

Vision

Project developers and designers consider theefficient Cobiax Technology as a relevant factor for

the holistic optimisation of concrete structures.

The resulting economical and ecological sustainability

positions Cobiax as a Cleantech technology which

holistically increases the financial value of properties.

The 20% reduction of environmental-related toxic

pollutants resulting by the use of Cobiax substantially

contributes to the attainment of the climate protection

goals. This is considered as a relevant factor by

investors.

Cobiax business caseTechnology and benefits

Idea: Eliminate concrete in the areas of a slab where structurally

theres no necessity for it whilst maintaining the full load bearingcapabilities

Application: Void formers, positioned in appropriate zones of slabs

displace concrete leading to a dead weight reduction

Up to 35% lighter slabs

Up to 15% lighter buildings

Up to 20% less toxic pollutants from a buildings structure

Resource effectiveness increases efficiency of structures
