"Terraco, a global leader in Exterior Insulation Finishing Systems, has demonstrated through independent studies that when planning building renovations, it is essential to adopt a deep retrofit strategy that includes energy-efficient measures, such as thermal insulation of external walls and roofs. The studies show that cooling energy use in buildings can be reduced by up to 47% annually in Middle Eastern and South Asian climates,"
"Backed by advanced simulation data and analysis from Greenplan Consultants, these internationally certified, energy-efficient insulation finishing systems provide architects, consultants, and developers with a proven route to reduce operational energy demand, lower CO₂ emissions, and deliver buildings engineered for extreme climatic conditions. The Problem: Cooling Dominates Energy Use Cooling is the defining energy challenge in the region. In Gulf buildings, it can account for as much as 70% of annual peak electricity consumption, according to international studies."
Deep retrofit strategies that include thermal insulation of external walls and roofs significantly reduce cooling demand in hot climates. Combined Terraco EIFS and Roof Insulation Finishing Systems can lower cooling energy use by up to 47% annually in Middle Eastern and South Asian climates. Advanced simulation and analysis by Greenplan Consultants validate performance and international certification of these systems. Cooling can represent up to 70% of annual peak electricity consumption in Gulf buildings, increasing operating costs and CO₂ emissions. Much existing building stock lacks robust insulation, so retrofitting facades and roofs is the most direct, cost-effective intervention to reduce operational energy demand and emissions.
