High-Impact Innovation Areas in the Construction Sector
A few of the key high-impact innovation areas in the construction sector are eco-friendly HVACs, regeneration control hydraulics, atmospheric water harvesting, low carbon heat insulating concrete, and building panel interlocking, among others.
Eco-friendly HVAC: It is a near-term innovation applied in residential buildings, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and others. Eco-friendly HVACs (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems) are designed to reduce environmental impact by minimizing energy use, utilizing eco-friendly refrigerants, and employing efficient controls, all while providing thermal comfort and reducing emissions. Patent filings for eco-friendly HVAC technologies have increased steadily from 2015 to 2023, with public and private companies driving the majority of innovations, reflecting an industry shift towards sustainable solutions.
Low carbon heat insulating concrete: It is a medium-term innovation applied in the construction of energy-efficient buildings among others. Low carbon heat insulating concrete is designed for effective thermal insulation using materials with a lower environmental impact. It reduces the carbon footprint of buildings while providing similar insulation performance. Patent filings for low carbon heat insulating concrete show a steady increase, with universities leading in the number of filings over the last three years, reflecting increased R&D focus in academic settings.
Atmospheric water harvesting: It is a long-term innovation applied in agriculture, farming, and for other purposes. Atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) refers to the collection of water from the humidity present in the air around us. This process involves the use of various technologies and devices to extract moisture from the air and store it for use. A significant expansion in innovation, driven by increased interest in sustainable water solutions supported the rise in the number of patent filings in the atmospheric water harvesting sector from 2015 to 2023.
