Biological concrete invented for constructing 'living' building materials with lichens, mosses

2013-01-03T13:27:00-05:00

The material, which has been designed for the façades of buildings or other constructions in Mediterranean climates, offers environmental, thermal and aesthetic advantages over other similar construction solutions. The material improves thermal comfort in buildings and helps to reduce atmospheric CO2 levels.
