Why Novera?

Smart building cooling solutions for cities and industry.

Mission

Our mission is to transform buildings into active cooling surfaces. We help reduce urban temperatures, protect structures, and increase occupant comfort—without high energy consumption. We bring scientifically proven technologies from Europe to even the hottest regions of the world.

Story

NOVERA was born from more than forty years of research by Ing. Aloizy. His original ceramic microsphere technology, developed for extreme industrial conditions, is now used on villa rooftops in the GCC as well as on homes across Europe. What began as expert research has become a global protective layer for modern cities.

Technology

At the heart of NOVERA are ceramic microspheres that reflect thermal radiation and protect structures from overheating. They can reduce surface temperatures by up to 30 °C, stabilize buildings, and extend material lifespan—even during extreme summer heat waves.

Research

NOVERA Lab conducts UV testing, salt spray tests, thermal shock testing, IR imaging, on-site measurements, and long-term comparative monitoring. Research is also expanding to large-scale surfaces—airports, stadiums, and transport hubs.

Results

Real-world results confirm significantly cooler surfaces, lower energy consumption, and reduced thermal stress on structures. Drone-based IR imagery clearly shows the dramatic difference between treated and untreated buildings.

Values

Scientific integrity. Responsibility toward cities. Comfort for people. Technologies built to last. Global impact with long-term value.

Technology

NOVERA delivers innovative technology that helps reduce building overheating.

How NOVERA Technology Works

Active Infrared Heat Reflection

NOVERA is based on a dense matrix of engineered ceramic microspheres integrated into a thin functional layer. These microspheres act as microscopic reflective elements, returning infrared radiation before it can penetrate the building envelope. 

Under defined conditions, this results in a typical surface temperature reduction of approximately 27–43 °C, while load-bearing layers remain thermally stable and are subjected to significantly lower thermal stress.

Controlled Thermal Behaviour of the Structure

By reflecting heat at the surface, NOVERA limits thermal energy from entering deeper layers of the building envelope. This reduces overheating, stabilises the internal thermal gradient and significantly lowers mechanical stress within the structure. The result is a more stable construction with predictable thermal behaviour.

Improved Structural Stability and Service Life

Lower temperature fluctuations lead to reduced material expansion and contraction, minimising the risk of cracking, deformation and premature degradation. NOVERA therefore protects not only the surface, but also the integrity of the underlying construction, contributing to a longer service life of the building.

Designed for Extreme Climatic Conditions

Developed in Europe and engineered for demanding environments, NOVERA performs reliably in regions exposed to extreme heat, intense solar radiation, dust and humidity. In climates where roof surface temperatures regularly exceed 80 °C, the system maintains stable physical properties and consistent long-term performance.

Why the Infrared Spectrum Matters

Approximately 50–59% of total solar energy lies within the infrared spectrum, rather than within visible light. While conventional surface coatings primarily reflect visible radiation, NOVERA operates across the near-, mid- and far-infrared bands (NIR, MIR and FIR), directly addressing the dominant source of thermal load. This physical effect remains stable even in polluted, dusty or urban environments.

Reliable Performance Without Compromise

Through the combination of active infrared reflection, controlled thermal behaviour and high material resilience, NOVERA delivers long-term, measurable and predictable performance across urban, industrial and extreme climatic conditions.

Research & Development

Behind NOVERA technology lies more than forty years of scientific research led by Ing. Aloizy. This long-term development forms the foundation of a system designed not as a theoretical concept, but as a measurable and verifiable engineering solution.

At NOVERA Lab, the technology is continuously validated through precise surface temperature measurements, long-term performance monitoring, mechanical and environmental stress testing, and drone-based infrared imaging. The result is a system whose performance is scientifically documented and consistently measurable in real-world conditions.

Three Lines of Scientific Evidence

Surface temperature measurements
Independent measurements on real buildings demonstrate a typical and stable surface temperature reduction of approximately 27–43 °C under operational conditions.

Energy performance
Monitored buildings show 25–40% reductions in cooling demand, confirming the direct impact of infrared reflection on energy consumption.

Accelerated ageing resistance
Following simulated years of extreme environmental stress, NOVERA retains its reflective efficiency and physical properties, demonstrating long-term durability beyond conventional coatings.

Aerial Infrared Validation

Drone-based thermal imaging provides clear visual confirmation of NOVERA’s performance. Treated façades and roofs consistently appear cooler in infrared imagery, while adjacent untreated surfaces emit significantly higher thermal radiation. This contrast offers direct, visual evidence of reduced heat absorption and lower surface temperatures.

Large-Scale Roof Applications

Airports, railway stations, stadiums and logistics centres represent vast roof areas with a measurable influence on urban heat accumulation. These large-scale structures form an important part of NOVERA’s ongoing research and validation. At this scale, the technology demonstrates its ability to influence not only individual buildings, but also the thermal balance of entire urban districts.

Sustainability

NOVERA contributes to the reduction of urban temperatures, energy consumption and stress on electrical grids. Each square metre of treated surface helps lower surrounding temperatures and supports improved thermal comfort in the built environment.

Peak Load Reduction

During periods of high temperatures, NOVERA supports a measurable reduction in cooling demand at peak load conditions. This directly contributes to lower CO₂ emissions, improved grid stability and reduced cooling costs at the scale of individual buildings and wider urban areas.

An Urban Cooling Layer

Buildings form the outer skin of the city. By applying NOVERA, this surface is transformed into an active cooling layer that reduces heat accumulation, slows night-time heat retention and improves the urban microclimate for both people and infrastructure.

Certifications & Compliance

NOVERA is developed in accordance with relevant European EN / ETAG standards and is based on established scientific methodologies with measurable performance parameters.

Solar Reflectance Index (SRI)

NOVERA products achieve an SRI value of approximately 107, placing them among the highest-performing reflective systems currently available on the market.

Middle East Compliance

Certification processes are currently underway for the Middle East, including Dubai Municipality and ESMA. These approvals are intended to support large-scale applications across the GCC region.

Solutions

Technologies engineered for extreme temperatures, high operational loads and long-term structural stability.

Residential

Residential buildings are particularly sensitive to overheating, especially roofs, attics and façades exposed to western and southern solar load. NOVERA stabilises surface and internal temperatures, provides long-term material protection and reduces the energy burden on households. Living spaces remain comfortable and usable even during extreme summer conditions, without the need for structural modifications. The system preserves the original appearance of the building while extending its service life.

Applications

Commercial

Commercial buildings typically feature large roof areas and experience high operational thermal loads. In these environments, NOVERA delivers fast, measurable returns through reduced cooling demand and improved thermal stability. It stabilises temperatures in technical rooms, server rooms and energy zones, while protecting façades and roofs against UV exposure, material degradation and extreme thermal fluctuations. For facility management, it represents a reliable tool for long-term operational stability.

Applications
