New print shop roof clears the air

At the moment the roof of the Dutch print shop Tuijtel is being furnished with a very special ecological material which has climate controlling and insulating properties. The roof will significantly reduce the energy needed for heating and cooling the shop and consequently lower CO2 emissions. The material also purifies the air: 1 square meter produces as much clean air as 12 people need in a year. Or, 100 sq meters purifies the amount of nitrogen oxides (NOx) emitted by an average car driving 15,000 kilometers.
