With Active Surfaces®, every project is worth more
PATENTED SAFETY
Where the idea comes from
Active Surfaces® are the result of research which began more than ten years ago between Iris Ceramica Group and the Department of Chemistry of the University of Milan.

FOR BUILDINGS CERTIFICATIONS
The innovative and sustainable technology of Active Surfaces® also makes it easier to obtain a number of buildings certifications.
WELL Building Standard
WELL certification was launched in 2014 by the International WELL Building Institute™ (IWBI™). The system sets out to define the parameters for measuring how buildings can improve people’s lives.
Gold standard
The Gold Standard is one of the strictest standards for the certification of carbon credits. Specifically, it ensures that renewable energy projects effectively reduce carbon dioxide emissions and produce benefits for the local population.
Leed certification
The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification system assesses and certifies the environmental, social and economic sustainability of buildings considered as a whole.
Breeam certification
BREEAM is an environmental sustainability assessment method which considers the principles and strategic requirements for measuring the environmental, social and economic impacts of the whole life cycle of a building.
