MAIN GOALS - GENERAL ACTIVITIES - FIELD OF EXPERTISES
MACOMA Environmental Technologies is an environmental solutions company focused on transforming the built environment through high-performance coatings that mitigate extreme heat, reduce energy demand, and improve urban air quality.
Headquartered in the United States, with active operations in Latin America and North America, MACOMA develops and deploys Cool Roof, Cool Surface, and Photocatalytic Coating technologies designed for rapid, scalable implementation in both new and existing buildings.
Alignment with Global Frameworks: MACOMA's work is fully aligned with The Paris Agreement and COP implementation goals; GlobalABC Roadmap for Buildings and Construction; UNEP priorities on buildings, cooling, and urban resilience; SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities; and SDG 13 – Climate Action. The company emphasizes solutions that are immediately deployable, cost-effective, and adaptable across climates — a key requirement highlighted in COP outcomes and GlobalABC transition pathways.
Implementation & Partnerships: MACOMA collaborates with Cities and municipalities; NGOs and community organizations; Educational institutions; and Faith-based and social-impact partners. Its projects frequently integrate technical deployment with social impact, enabling climate action to reach those most exposed to extreme heat.
ACTIVITY RELATED TO LOW GHG AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND RESILIENT BUILDINGS
Why MACOMA within GlobalABC
MACOMA brings to the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction a practical bridge between science, policy, and implementation. By combining measurable climate performance, urban resilience, and finance-ready outcomes, MACOMA contributes directly to accelerating decarbonization of the built environment — one roof, one community, and one city at a time.
Urban Heat Island Mitigation & Energy Performance
MACOMA's Cool Roof and Cool Surface systems are engineered to deliver immediate and verifiable climate benefits:
• Surface temperature reduction: 10–25 °C under peak solar conditions
• Indoor temperature reduction: 3–7 °C, improving thermal comfort and health outcomes
• Cooling energy savings: 10–30% reduction in electricity demand for air conditioning
• Peak load reduction: Supports grid resilience during heat waves
These impacts are particularly significant in low-income housing, schools, and heat vulnerable communities, where access to mechanical cooling is limited.
Climate Mitigation & Carbon Impact
When deployed at scale, MACOMA's solutions enable measurable and reportable climate outcomes, consistent with GlobalABC and UNEP guidance:
• Estimated CO₂ emissions avoidance: 15–30 kg CO₂e per m² per year, depending on climate zone and building typology
• Energy-related emissions reduction: Driven by sustained reductions in cooling demand
• Urban-scale benefits: Lower ambient temperatures, reduced heat stress, and improved city-wide resilience
These characteristics make MACOMA technologies suitable for inclusion in Voluntary Carbon Credit (VCM) projects, Results-Based Climate Finance, Blended finance and philanthropic climate programs and National and municipal heat action plans.
Air Quality & Public Health
MACOMA's photocatalytic coatings actively reduce airborne pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) through solar-activated reactions, contributing to:
• Improved urban air quality
• Reduced exposure to harmful pollutants
• Alignment with health-focused climate adaptation strategies
This dual impact — heat mitigation + air purification — directly supports SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being).
