SMART BUILDINGS
“There is too much energy ‘conversation’ when there should be more energy ‘conservation’!”
The rate of resource depletion is at an all-time high. Buildings are being held accountable for an average of 41% of the world’s energy use. A huge percentage of the green-house gas emissions from these buildings is directly impacting climatic change. The usage of non-sustainable products for construction of buildings is generating harmful wastes such as concrete, metals, plastic, asphalt and more. These untreated wastes are damaging the environment adversely.
With the increasing rate of energy consumption in today’s power-hungry smart age, we are in the race to eliminate, or at least reduce, our carbon footprint. How can we, then, combat these concerns and still remain forefront in the field of science and progress?
At 3M, we endeavour to highlight concerns pertaining to energy conservation and provide the appropriate solutions to guarantee leaving behind a greener environment in our wake. Our modern building solutions help create smart structures that are environmentally sustainable and energy-efficient.
Some of the products we provide include:
