Climate protection with Unidome

Concrete is one of the most important construction materials in the world today. And yet concrete is also often described as a “climate killer”. The production of concrete requires cement, the production of this material is accompanied by a large energy consumption and a high emission of CO₂. The worldwide cement production of a good four and a half billion tons per year today is associated with emissions of 2.8 billion tons of CO₂. Therefore, at Unidome, we ask ourselves why we should use more material than necessary in the construction process. By scientifically analyzing the force flows of building components and using the resulting knowledge, we are able to develop the appropriate Unidome concrete former types for the particular structural component. This leads to the displacement of material exactly in those places where it is simply unnecessary Up to 35% concrete consumption and up to 20% reinforcing steel reinforcement can thus be saved. The reduction in their weight also makes it possible to realize thinner building structures. This reduces material consumption additionally. For example, one transport with Unidome XS-Hreplaces up to 48 trucks with concrete and thus avoids up to 60 tons of CO2 emissions.
