475 Lamilux

In spaces without exterior walls, roof daylight is a beneficial way to fulfill building codes and green building standards that require the use of daylight to improve human health and productivity. Current products are poorly insulated, have interior gutters to deal with condensation. Leading to cold, drafts and discomfort and high energy bills in winter. Overheating and glare in summer. Architects and owners thus avoid such products because of bad experiences and user complaints.

475 Lamilux skylight system offer a solution that allow all the benefits of daylight in interior spaces – while avoiding the downsides. The system is fully insulated and free of condensation by design. The skylight no longer has a negative impact on the performance of the enclosure because of it use, triple-pane glass, thermally broken frames, sits on a unique, fully insulated fiberglass curb, comes with shading and operable options. This means the product can be energy positive, both by reducing the amount of artificial light used in the building, minimized heat losses, maximize solar heat gains in winter and offer full protection against condensation – even in the middle of winter.

Allied Microbiota

Allied Microbiota (AMB) develops microbes and other biological products to destroy harmful chemicals. As an environmental biotechnology company, AMB’s primary focus is on their breakthrough bio-remediation product PacBac, targeted at difficult-to-treat contaminants in the $20B remediation industry in the US. This cost-effective product can rapidly reduce recalcitrant, organic contaminants like dioxins, poly-chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and other chlorinated compounds in soil and sediments.

Currently, they are conducting field tests with Clean Earth, one of the largest environmental engineering firms in the Northeast, at their New Castle, Delaware facility. Initial results are positive and tests will expand to commercial scale in 2019 as AMB increases production capacity.  AMB was formed in 2017 from technology developed at Columbia University and is located at the Brooklyn Army Terminal in Sunset Park.
