While the task at hand may seem daunting, companies like Philippine Geogreen, with its line up of innovative solutions, make greener living within reach for homes and businesses.

1. Turn air into water

• Believe it or not, you can actually get water out of the air, thanks to the Philippines’ hot and humid weather. Geogreen’s atmospheric water generator (AWG), water is extracted from humid ambient air, literally allowing you to create water out of thin air. Water vapor in the air is condensed by cooling the air below its dew point, extracting water in the process. This device is designed to render the water potable with multiple stages of filtration, making it safe for home, commercial, and industrial use. It even allows you to bring down your water cost.

2. Choose energy efficient fans

• To survive the Philippines’ hot weather, we all need electric fans. However, not all fans are created equal. Philippine Geogreen combines energy efficiency and aesthetics in its Haiku Fan. The Haiku fan is a small ceiling fan made with an award-winning motor and controls that deliver a silent operation without compromising comfort. It generates a cooling effect that is 80% more efficient than conventional ceiling fan motors. Haiku’s airfoils and central motor housing blend together into a single, seamless organic form, beautifully wrapped in a sleek, modern package. Moreover, all Haiku fans exceed ENERGY STAR registered requirements for ceiling fans from 2012-2018, making it the most energy-efficient ceiling fan available in the Philippine market.

3. Maximize natural light

• Nothing can be more beautiful and energy-efficient than having natural light illuminating your home. To ensure that you can get sunlight into your home, get the Solatube Daylighting Systems. This brilliant system is specially engineered to capture the sun’s rays creating brighter and more expansive rooms. The Solatube can be installed in as little as two hours and requires no structural changes to the building.

4. Keep the air clean using the power of light

• Believe it or not, you don’t need air purifiers or vacuums to clean the air. An innovative solution by Philippine Geogreen allows your walls to clean the air! LumActiv is a paint coating that has the capacity to clean the air once it gets activated by either sunlight or electric light. It can also keep building exteriors clean by breaking down city smog and makes the exterior glass cleaner for a long period of time, thereby reducing the need for repainting and maintenance.

5. Stop dredging

In maintaining beaches and coastlines, there is no need to practice dredging or purchasing new sand. Geogreen offers its groundbreaking product, Sherlock, a technology that protects and restores coastlines in a sustainable manner.
