As March comes to a close, edie and our innovation partner Springwise have rounded up six of the best breakthrough technologies that could help accelerate the transition to a low-carbon, resource-efficient and resilient future.
The company’s patented building-integrated photovoltaic technology (BIPV) – via solar cladding and glass railing – extends a building’s energy-generating potential from rooftops down to vertical walls. It can be easily installed on new developments, as well as retro-fitted on existing developments. Mitrex stresses that its products are not only cost-effective, but aesthetically pleasing for building owners and developers, mimicing various construction materials such as concrete, timber, or stucco.

“Our mission is to be the catalyst that accelerates the adoption of sustainable, energy-generating, human-made structures,” says CEO Danial Hadizadeh. “With residential, commercial and industrial buildings accounting for 40 percent of annual greenhouse gas emissions globally, it’s clear that developers and buildings owners can play an integral role in curbing emissions by investing in BIPV technology.”
