3 Airium, a breakthrough technology Airium is a mineral insulating foam technology. The foam and the injection technology are patented by LafargeHolcim The mineral foam is the result of an homogeneous mix between a slurry and an aqueous foam x Airium is a range: depending on the density, different compromises can be achieved between insulation performance and structural resistance 3

4 Airium, an open innovation that fits trends and needs Meet society s challenges and adapt to megatrends Buildings accounts for more than 30% of energy use >20% of GHG comes from buildings in their usage phase x The regulatory change is accelerating, from Europe to emerging countries An efficient, healthy & cozy insulation, good heat peak insulation Reference: 4

5 Airium, an open innovation that fits trends and needs Qatar is in the top 5 of the countries with the highest average power consumption per capita KAHRAMAA have recently issued the Best Practices for conservation of electricity and water Reference: 5

6 Airium, insulation redefined: What benefits for which stakeholders Living with AIRIUM Building with AIRIUM Designing with AIRIUM An efficient, healthy & cozy insulation, good heat peak insulation Build and insulate at the same time A sustainable and recyclable insulation, with a lower CO2 footprint at low density Superior fire resistance, A1 Hassle-free, transport, storage, handling A healthy mineral insulation (no anti-fire chemicals, no mold) Long-lasting, ~100 years Flexible / adaptable technology, structural vs insulation Long-lasting, ~100 years Find out more on the benefits on 6

27 The AIRIUM team is working on the deployment of the technology in various applications across the globe: reach out to be part of it! Deployment of Airium Airium is planned to be deployed across the globe as it adds value to customers and end-users in cold and in hot climates Through the LafargeHolcim network of 90 countries (see map), several country teams are already looking at launching various applications in 2017 and in 2018, from North America to Northern Africa to other European countries Call for action Several applications from the technology platform have already been tested and implemented: Filling blocks, roofs and floors. Others are under development. For a development in new countries where Airium is currently not available, feel free to reach out with your needs/projects and we will look at all options On other new potential applications, the Airium team has a co-development approach with local/regional partners 27
