Asset Protection, Energy Savings & Scope 2 Reductions for Hot Climates

Energy & Scope 2 Emission Reductions

We are an innovative company focused on improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions in mining accommodation camps and remote housing communities. We do this by combining heat-reflective paint with advanced technology.

Our solution targets air conditioning, which typically accounts for 80% of energy consumption and Scope 2 emissions in these facilities. Since thermostat settings can influence energy use by 5-10% with every degree of change, occupants have significant control over consumption.

By using Solacoat to reduce internal heat and implementing sensors and smartphone technology to optimize thermostat settings, we help occupants monitor real-time and projected energy and carbon levels. This allows them to maximize savings while still controlling their temperature preferences.

Moreover, staff engagement is also a key factor. Recent surveys by organizations like Deloitte and PwC show that many employees now expect businesses to take strong action against climate change. Reports indicate that employees often believe sustainability should be prioritized over profit maximization.

Solacoat is a two-step geo-engineered coating system generally consisting of a primer and two coats of Solacoat topcoat.

Advantages

Solacoat is certified by

Heat Reduction & Asset Protection

Using heat-reflective paint on external electrical housings can protect sensitive components from heat damage, improve operational efficiency, and increase the overall longevity of the equipment.

Solacoat used on tanks and pipes can also maintain cooler water temperatures, especially effective in safety eye-wash stations.

In addition to buildings Solacoat is also effective in reducing the surface temperature of paving, handrails and shade structures.

Solacoat also has a version for minimising rail buckling due to excessive heat and has been used on rail tracks in Queensland, NSW and Victoria since 2000.
