Beckers Group recently won the Sustainable Innovation Award for its “Beckrytherm Solar and Thermal Control Technology” at the British Coatings Federation´s Award. The BeckryTherm technology is a coating system for exteriors using durable binders to deliver high reflectivity and high emissivity, together with an interior coating that delivers both insulation and very low emissivity within the building envelope. The economic benefits are significantly reduced costs for cooling/heating buildings and clearly there are significant benefits for sustainability viz reduced CO2 emissions and longer lived structures. The considerable work to optimise the chemistry and physics of the coating system was complemented by dynamic thermal modelling of typical building configurations in conjunction with a University partner.
