The Big 5 is once again delighTed To hosT The gaia awards.Now in their 4th year, the Gaia Awards are firmly established as an essential platform recognising innovative construction products which make a positive impact to the green built environment.

More than ever, visitors to The Big 5 are looking for innovative products that are environmen-tally friendly and the Gaia Awards has made a huge contribution towards making The Big 5 the region’s most important event for sustainable building products.

This year, in order to broaden the selection of eligible products, we’ve opened up the awards to any company whose product is available in the GCC, even if they are not exhibiting at The Big 5.

The response has been excellent and to ensure all nominations receive the best possible evalu-ation we have teamed up with our friends at B Green magazine who have assembled a panel of experts from across the region to judge the entries and select the winners.

This year’s ceremony will take place during the Green Build Congress which runs alongside The Big 5 and the awards will be presented by Adrian Smith.

You can register for The Green Build Congress by visiting www.greenbuildcongress.com.This year’s Big 5 will have an increased focus on green and sustainable issues and the Gaia

Awards is just one important element of this initiative. You’ll also see more exhibitors and attend more seminars than ever before, providing you with ideas and information that will help you select products and services which meet the increasing demand for green and sustainable projects in the Middle East.

We look forward to seeing you at The Big 5.

Ultralite S1

T hough regional markets are at differ-ent stages in terms of environmental products and requirements, the fact of

the matter is that developers and clients in the region are increasingly concerned about en-vironment and sustainability. Thanks to path-breaking initiatives such as Estidama and Masdar City and efforts by local bodies like Dubai Municipality to create green guidelines, standards and benchmarks, the demand for environmentally friendly products is growing rapidly in the UAE.

Mapei has been at the forefront of develop-ing more environmentally friendly products in the adhesives, sealants and chemical segments for buildings. The company pro-duces ‘green’ products in line with its own internal policy and commitment to develop and manufacture the most environmentally responsible products in the industry.

In general, under sealants, adhesives and building chemicals, there are essentially four contributing areas under LEED or other green building certification schemes:• Materials that improve air quality by

developing an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) plan to reduce particles in the air during installation

• Low VOC emitting products• Recycled content by reducing impact

from extraction and processing of virgin materials

• Using of regional materials by reduc-ing environmental impact from transportation.

Thanks to vigorous R&D efforts, the com-pany today boasts of over 150 products that contribute to LEED or other green building or environmental certification while meet-

ing (or exceeding) international standards. Maipei also places tremendous emphasis on ensuring that the composition or constituents of the products don’t harm the environment, their installers and also users. The products are designed with installation issues in mind as well as the service life of the application; therefore, in addition to ease of use, extremely low VOC (volatile organic content) formula-tions safeguard the health and safety of all.

The emphasis on local production not only reduces shipping distances but also the carbon footprint of the products. Moreover, these facilities incorporate strict environmental practices such as state-of-the-art filtration sys-tems, battery-operated forklifts and wind and thermal powered factory ventilation (found at the UAE facility).

Maipei estimates that currently over 60% of its products sold in the UAE could be consid-ered ‘green.’ Furthermore, nearly 85% of the products sold are manufactured locally and are part of the company’s ‘green innovation’ range. In 2009, Maipei submitted its locally produced product, Keraflex, which is also part of the green innovation range, for the GAIA Awards and was selected in the top three, win-ning the silver category.

Polyamide Strip for Thermal Insulation

W ith sustainable use of resources and environmentally friendly products becoming increasingly important,

Technoform Bautec is working on bio-based polyamide insulation profiles. The biopoly-mers group includes ‘bio-based’ polymers made of renewable raw material and also ‘bio-degradable’ polymers that degrade in water or other chemicals, and therefore used, for example, in packaging. For insulating profiles, bio-based polyamides made from the fruits of the castor oil plant are qualified.

There are three bio-based polyamides which come into consideration for insulating profiles, due to their good mechanical proper-ties and their high temperature resistance, namely PA10.10 (100% bio-based), PA6.10 (62% bio-based) and PA4.10 (70% bio-based). In fact, production capacity of bio-based ma-terial is still low as commercialisation has just started. Of the different bio-based polyam-ides, PA6.10 is the raw material with the best availability, while only a limited number of suppliers currently offer PA10.10 and PA4.10.

Limited availability of naturally irrigated arable land means there will always be com-petition between cultivation of food, animal feed and industrial raw material. A study by the Nova-institute concluded: “Even if an increasing share of arable land is used for en-ergy and industrial material use, there is still much scope for the expansion of agricultural areas and even more scope for productiv-ity increases” [M. Carus, Dr. S. Piotrowski]. However, castor oil plant has an advantage that it also grows in very dry areas. Very often, a by-product of cultivation of plants for bio-

plastics is high-value protein-rich animal feed.Technoform has successfully tested

PA10.10, PA6.10 and PA4.10 for their process-ability; while their mechanical properties fulfil the specifications of the Technoform material data sheet for standard material, the charac-teristic values of the assembly (tested using a standard geometry) reach the same values as standard profiles.

On the basis of these findings, Technoform Bautec is now planning to launch a joint pro-ject for customers interested in exploring the quality of these materials in their systems.

The use of renewable raw materials can significantly improve the carbon footprint of products, and also have a positive impact on environmental product declarations (EPD) and building certificates like LEED, BREEAM or DGNB.

Portable Evaporative Air Coolers

C onstromech has been promoting environmentally friendly products in the region since 2005. The company

won the GAIA award in 2008 and 2009 for the Port-A- Cool portable evaporative air coolers and a Silver medal for Reusable Concrete Cur-ing Covers manufactured by Reef Industries.

The Port-a-cool Air Cooler has been well received in the region with nearly 3,000 units installed in the UAE alone, while the Reusable Concrete Curing covers are being used by construction companies who have consciously adopted the use of ‘Green’ products to conserve the region’s natural resources. With more and more companies realising the ad-vantages of using the reusable concrete covers, demand for the product continues to increase.

Constromech’s objective is to be recognised as a leading supplier of energy efficient and water saving products in the region. Recently, the company introduced a new product/con-cept in the region called GMX magnets. The product, which is undergoing performance testing with select clients, provides consid-erable savings on the use of water softener chemicals.

Constromech believes that the key to increasing the use of ‘Green’ products in the Middle East is pricing the product right in relation to its standard counterparts so that companies are encouraged incorporate ‘Green’ products or services.

Your Nominated GAIA Product Name

A s one of the world’s leading suppli-ers of stainless steel reinforcement used in the construction industry,

Arminox hopes to increase the awareness of using sustainable and environmentally friendly products in the industry. This was one of key reasons for the company to enter the GAIA Awards, the other being to prove to clients that the long, maintenance-free service life of its products and their end-of-life fully recyclable nature endows tremendous benefits on the owners from a long term financial analysis standpoint. Arminox Middle East has also sought to strengthen its environmental credentials with the ISO 14001 certification.

The company is finding that more and more clients are incorporating environmental policies in their procurement policies; those constructing advanced and large infrastruc-

ture now insist on durable and maintenance-free products of high and documented quality, a trend which has taken on global overtones.

Being part of an international group of companies, where CSR has been practiced over many years, Arminox Middle East too has incorporated CSR into its policies. Also, the multinational organisations that the com-pany deals are demanding a high level of CSR to ensure proper performance in all aspects of the business relationship. Rather than look at its CSR focus as a cost, Arminox prefers to regard it as something that will benefit the company in the long run by increasing perfor-mance and profits.

The company is also of the view that aware-ness of the necessity to focus on the environ-ment is growing rapidly among the corpora-tions as well as the general public. Though

short term focus on the financial aspect may persist, in the long term, investment in envi-ronment is expected to pay back easily. While there are still regions where environmental considerations have yet to reach the top of the agenda, Arminox sincerely believes that change is only a matter of time because every day, the world is witnessing the impact of environmental disasters.

FoamglasF OAMGLAS is a cellular glass thermal

insulation product manufactured by Pittsburgh Corning Europe. Made from

recycled glass, FOAMGLAS thermal insulation products are a superior alternative to extruded polystyrene (XPS). Free from ecologically harmful blowing agents, FOAMGLAS is also impervious to moisture (water and vapour), doesn’t support mould growth, blocks radon and keeps out termites and rodents. Moreover, no mutagenic or carcinogenic chemicals are used during its production.

There are no flame retardants or other addi-tives. As a 100% inorganic material, FOAMG-LAS is inert and fireproof.

FOAMGLAS slabs are dimensionally stable with enough compressive strength to be used under any concrete slab. Because it is so rigid, FOAMGLAS can also reduce the thickness of the concrete slab.

With thermal conductivities ranging from 0.038 to 0.050 W/(mK) and compressive strengths from 0.40 to 1.60 N/mm², they are suited for interior or exterior use, in multiple applications. FOAMGLAS can be used as below grade insulation to protect bearing walls and foundation rafts on the outside, as façade and roof insulation. Terraces, parking decks and interior insulation for walls, floor and soffits – even under harsh humidity conditions – add to the many areas of application for this sustainable insulation material. It is universally suited for renovation and new build and meets the high demands of passive house construction.

The real value of FOAMGLAS comes from replacing other layers in the construction system (vapour retarders, moisture barriers,

radon-control components), simplifying detail design to lower risk of system failure, durabil-ity and environmental attributes. At the end of its long service life, which extends well beyond 50 years, the insulation can be recycled. Using FOAMGLAS contributes to credits for LEED and Estidama ratings.

At the BAU 2011 exhibition in Munich, FOAMGLAS was awarded the natureplus Quality Seal by Natureplus, an international organisation focussed on developing sustain-ability culture within the building sector. The natureplus seal is an international symbol of recognition for building products with a high level of quality in the areas of health, the environment and functionality. FOAMGLAS was assessed according to the stringent award guidelines in laboratory and in the plant of the manufacturer by official experts from the Austrian Institute for Environmental Sustain-able Architecture, the Bremen Environmental Institute and the Belgian VIBE Institute.

FOAMGLAS was also awarded The Future

Build Product of the Month – March 2011 by MASDAR.

Pittsburgh Corning Europe manufactures FOAMGLAS products in Belgium, Germany and the Czech Republic using recycled glass purchased through international markets. The company established a wholly-owned sub-sidiary in Dubai in 2006 to provide sales and technical support, design and onsite technical training to the Middle East market. High pro-file projects to date include the Armed Forces Officer’s Club, Abu Dhabi; the Intercontinental and Crown Plaza Hotel, Dubai Festival City and Texan A&M University and the Museum of Islamic Art, Doha.

PERI biomass power plantSensible power generation

A new key part of production went live in 2007: PERI’s own, modern biomass power station.

Energy is extracted from wood chips, a waste product from girder production and formwork assembly. It is used for power production, for process heat extraction, for heating and for hot water treatment. Any over-capacity is fed into the public power grid.

The biomass power station produces the energy required for the kiln-drying of wood as well as for accelerated drying of products after painting. It has the capacity to also produce

sufficient energy in order to heat all production halls and the office buildings at the PERI facility in Weissenhorn

The term sustainability stands for careful handling of resources and their conservation for future generations.

Having the adaptability to meet future needs, as well as economic and ecological sustainability, play an essential role in all PERI processes.

FOAMGLAS® Insulation

In May 2011 Saudi’s King Abdullah officially opened the new campus of the $5.3b Princess Noura bint Abdulrahman University (PNU) less than three years after laying the foundation stone for the university. The new university is the largest women-only university in the world, covering 800 hectares on the outskirts of Riyadh. The new campus includes a 700-bed hospital, 15 colleges, a central library, a conference hall, laboratories and research centres. It also comprises staff housing units, student hostels, infrastructure facilities plus administration buildings. The university is designed to cater for more than 50,000 students. The campus also includes one of the largest cold storages in the Middle East. Accessible directly with trucks the demands for the floor build up was high. FOAMGLAS® cellular glass thermal insulation is used below a load bearing course to solve the thermal protection and to carry the high load of the trucks at the same time. FOAMGLAS® is a unique thermal insulation with high load bearing capacity without compression. It will never absorb any moisture, is ecological with more than 66% recycling glass content and is well known as the only real long term solution.
