According to Bayer Polyurethane Expo 2008 international press conference, Bayer is currently planning to build the company’s first zero-emission building in India. The building will start in May of this year.
According to reports, the building used all the energy-saving materials which are produce by Bayer, including Rigid Polyurethane Foam insulation technology, solar energy, photovoltaic cells. The application of these materials, will reduce energy consumption by 70%.
According to Bayer’s estimation, in the per kg of polyurethane which are used in construction industry. The buildings can reduce as much as 755 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions in the average life cycle. While Bayer’s Baysystems rigid polyurethane foam can provide excellent insulation properties. So it is need less energy to control structure’s internal temperature, achieving a significant reduction of energy consumption target.
