The chart above is measured data from our factory roof during the summer 2012 heat wave. The portion of our unconditioned factory with bioPCmatTM stayed cool while the control area became quite uncomfortable. The thermocouple data for the roof membrane shows that the bioPCmat reduced roof temperatures significantly and changed the emissivity of the surface. Our bioPCmat enhanced "cool roof" increased the comfort of our assembly line workers while reducing the urban heat island effect, prolonging the life of the roof membrane and cooling down our solar panels allowing them to operate more efficiently. The bioPCmat's installed in our roof provided a safety net for comfortable temperatures that allowed us to keep our manufacturing facility operational even during the record breaking climate of 2012.

Green Building Champions
Companies that integrate phase change materials into the building environment win awards for their firms and reduce the energy costs and carbon footprints of their clients. Our colleagues who are exploring and integrating bioPCM into their designs are the Green Building Champions of the market. Read More -
Smart Thermal Mass
BioPCMat products reduce cooling loads by absorbing daytime heat (cooling) and recycling it to nighttime (heating). BioPCM smart thermal mass provides thermal energy storage at the source of the load that allows you to recycle energy and save money by reducing temperature swings to passively control the comfort of your structure.

Zero Energy Cooling
Laboratories typically involve more cooling capacity and energy use than other buildings due to equipment loads and airflow requirements. The U of W molecular engineering lab went above and beyond Labs 21 standards by completely removing the cooling system from its design. BioPCM used as zonal thermal energy storage, charged by natural ventilation made this ground breaking design possible. Read More -
