Warehouse Cooling Systems: How to Stay Cool and Decrease Your Carbon Footprint
Excessive heat in warehouses not only affects the comfort of warehouse workers and the integrity of goods, it also increases energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions associated with cooling.
Impact of heat on warehouses and warehouse employees
One of the main challenges faced by warehouses is heat build-up, especially during the summer months. The most immediate and pressing concern related to heat in warehouses is its adverse effect on workers’ health, productivity, and work capacity.
Passive cooling solutions and mitigation strategies for urban heat islands
The clustering of people and industry generates a phenomenon known as urban heat islands (UHI) — metropolitan areas that are warmer than the surrounding rural areas. Pirta’s on a mission is to expand the currently available passive cooling options.
LEED Certification for paints/coatings
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification is the world's most widely used green building rating system, evaluating construction, interiors, exteriors, operations, and maintenance of different types of buildings. Pirta exceeds their standards for paints and coatings in our formulations.
Pirta's alignment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Goals
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent a set of 17 objectives outlined by the United Nations to tackle pressing global challenges and guide efforts towards a more sustainable and equitable future. Pirta's mission to combat global warming through scientific innovation aligns closely with several key SDGs.
The role of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in the paints and coatings industry
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are spearheading a revolution across various industries, reshaping the way businesses operate and deliver value. The dynamic field of paints and coatings is no exception, with AI/ML projected to grow by 40% annually in the construction sector over the next decade. Innovators in paint R&D are harnessing these technologies to improve upon existing capabilities, streamline production, enhance quality control, reduce costs, and optimize formulations.
The practicality and promise of non-toxic paint
In the world of paint manufacturing, incorporating volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into paint formulations has been a longstanding necessity in solvent-based paints and, to a lesser degree, water-based paint.
Biomimicry: Unveiling Nature's Secrets for Cooling Solutions
Amidst growing environmental concerns, the natural world holds promising solutions to the most pressing problems facing our planet today.
Let Nature Cool: Harnessing the Power of Passive Cooling
Energy used for space cooling represents between 15% and 20% of the world’s total energy consumption. Thus, developing and implementing effective, sustainable cooling solutions is critical to preserving human life and industry in the context of global warming.
