🌞Cooling without air conditioning: ClimaCoolor’s thermo-reflective solutions for summer comfort

With increasingly hotter summers and the growing frequency of heatwaves, managing thermal comfort has become a key issue in the building sector. According to the Minergie report on summer thermal protection, poorly insulated buildings can turn into real heat traps. Yet, there are simple, passive, and sustainable solutions to combat this issue—without having to rely exclusively on air conditioning.

This is where ClimaCoolor’s thermo-reflective technologies come into play, intelligently turning building envelopes into effective shields against heat.

☀️ Too much heat, for too long

The facts are clear: due to climate change, heatwaves are becoming longer, more frequent, and more intense. Buildings—especially those with dark surfaces or poor insulation—absorb significant amounts of solar radiation, storing heat within their structures and worsening the issue of indoor overheating.

The critical points identified by Minergie:

Highly exposed roofs, where surface temperatures can exceed 70°C.
Facades that absorb solar energy for extended periods.
Unprotected glazing, which acts as a thermal bridge into the interior.

❄️ A passive and high-performance answer: ClimaCoolor solutions

ClimaCoolor offers a range of highly innovative thermo-reflective treatments, designed to reflect solar radiation instead of absorbing it. These solutions can be applied to roofs, facades, and glazing, effectively turning every surface into a reflective barrier:

✅Thermo-reflective paints and coatings for roofs and façades: Significantly reduce solar absorption, potentially lowering surface temperatures by up to 50% compared to traditional dark coatings.

✅Fully transparent and reflective liquid for glazing: Blocks 99% of UV rays and up to 85% of infrared radiation, maintaining pleasant natural light while preventing indoor overheating in summer and retaining warmth in winter.

✅Tailor-made solutions for new or renovated buildings, adaptable to aesthetic, architectural, and energy efficiency requirements.

🌍 A tangible impact on comfort, energy consumption, and the environment

By relying on ClimaCoolor solutions:

🌡️ Indoor comfort is greatly improved, even during heatwaves.
🔋Energy consumption decreases, thanks to the reduced use of air conditioning or other ventilation systems.
🌱 The environmental impact is minimized, in line with the goals of labels like Minergie.

These systems perfectly align with a logic of sustainability, energy savings, and the prevention of urban heat island effects, an issue also highlighted in the Minergie report.
