The SRI (Solar Reflectance Index) report for Grey Marengo Marble from Alconera, carried out by TECNALIA, certifies the stone’s ability to reflect solar radiation and mitigate the “urban heat island” effect. This test strengthens its value as a strategic material for projects in extreme climate conditions. The grey marble called Gris Marengo in one of the high-quality marble varieties from the Marble deposit at Alconera, Spain, currently for sale.
Why the SRI matters when evaluating marble quarries for sale
The SRI (Solar Reflectance Index) is a key factor in sustainable architecture and energy-efficient design.
The official test conducted by TECNALIA (Research and Technological Development Center, Spain) confirms that Grey Marengo Marble demonstrates a high solar reflectance index, comparable to engineered materials designed specifically for thermal mitigation.
Grey Marengo Marble: energy efficiency and global project validation
This makes it an excellent choice for exterior cladding and paving in hot climates.
In fact, this report was decisive for the selection of Grey Marengo in the GNPC headquarters project in Takoradi, Ghana, where mitigating heat absorption was critical in such harsh environmental conditions.
