4. The Environmental Impact analyser
Reducing embodied carbon through effective supply chain management
Forum for the Future and AkzoNobel have developed the Environmental Impact
Analyser (EIA) as a tool to help businesses develop more sustainable products, and it has
already been used to help AkzoNobel launch the Dulux Trade Ecosure Range.
The EIA assesses each stage in the life cycle of a product, from the extraction of its raw
materials through manufacture right up to the point where it leaves the factory. It allows
businesses to compare an existing product against a proposed new one and quantify the
change in carbon, water and waste.
A key to the success of the EIA is that its method is rigorous enough to be reliable but
streamlined enough to be useable. It gives percentage savings compared to a specific
baseline, not an absolute figure. A detailed life cycle analysis or carbon footprint would
require a much larger investment of time and money than is often feasible, and the result
would still be dependent on assumptions and conditions.

8. Dulux Trade Light & Space Technology
Save up to 22% on light energy costs
• Lumitec is groundbreaking paint technology is more reflective
and less absorbent of natural or artificial light.
• The resulting finish maximises the impression of space – giving
the room an improved ambience and appearance, whilst
helping to reduce light energy.
• In tests conducted by the BRE, Light & Space paint absorbed
10% of the visable light compared to a conventional emulsion
which absorbed 20%
Artificial Light
• By distributing light more efficiently, Light & Space 50W
paint also saves energy by reducing artificial lighting.
• Achieve the same average level of illumination whilst
using up to 22% less lighting energy.
Natural Light
•By using Light & Space paint instead of a standard 20 % Smaller window
paint with a similar hue and chroma, it’s possible to
have up to 20% smaller windows, yet still achieve the 40W
Room painted in Light and Space
same levels of light within the room.
•This also helps you meet Building Regulations Part L
as less energy is lost through the fixtures.
