Self Cleaning Strategies

Cleaning after it gets dirty (Cure)Additional benefits– Air purifier– Anti odour– Antimicrobial– UV filter

'Anti Smog: An Innovation Centre in Sustainable Development': Prototype, Paris, France. The exterior is fitted with 250 square meters of solar photovoltaic panels and coated in titanium dioxide (TiO2). The PV system produces on-site electrical energy while the TiO2 coating works

with ultraviolet radiation to interact with particulates in the air, break down organics and reduce air born pollutants and contaminants.
