The Impact of Heat on Agribusiness Infrastructure and Solutions to Mitigate Risks
Extreme heat poses significant challenges to agribusiness buildings and infrastructure that are often by necessity near farms and ranches in sunny, warm areas. Rising temperatures affect structural integrity, energy consumption, crop yields, supply chains, worker safety, and the performance of automated systems. Understanding these impacts is crucial to develop strategies that maintain operational efficiency and reduce risks.
Comprehensive Guide to Understanding Passive Cooling and Testing
This comprehensive guide focuses on understanding how passive cooling works, the relationship between solar reflectance, emissivity and the Solar Reflectance Index (SRI), and how these metrics relate to the effectiveness of cooling systems. A particular focus will be on Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling (PDRC), which is gaining attention for its potential to cool surfaces below ambient temperatures.
Integrating AI with Sustainable Energy Efficiency: Enhancing Passive Cooling with AI-Driven Solutions
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the power to revolutionize energy optimization. With global energy consumption continuing to rise, many struggle to reduce energy demand, particularly from cooling systems.
Why Non-Toxic Paint is Important to You and the World
As awareness of environmental issues and health concerns grows, the demand for safer products to be used in construction and home improvement has never been higher. While effective in providing vibrant colors and durable finishes, traditional paints often contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can have serious health implications and contribute significantly to environmental pollution.
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 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.
