If anything good is to come from COVID-19, it's an accelerated response towards climate change. It is our vision at Revive Bio-tech to transform our built environments and welcome in a new more integrated way of thinking about urban living. Our project is to deliver to market a well designed fully functioning bio-filtration cladding panel. Our patent protected design utilizes mosses specially selected for their ability to convert fine dust particulates into biomass and sequester nitrogen dioxide from the air. Its potent green color can also help to reduce stress to local inhabitants and we believe it would be a welcomed breath of fresh air into our urban environment.For property developers, our measurable environmental benefits make our cladding system a cost-effective instrument of sustainable management in a market environment that is increasingly regulated. Moreover, we offer companies the opportunity to visibly communicate their societal responsibility to the broader public as part of their Corporate Responsibility Strategy.Our Bio-cladding can enhance biodiversity, reduce the risk of flooding (by absorbing rainfall), improve a building's thermal performance, thus reducing associated energy costs, help counter the Urban Heat Island Effect, support higher density more sustainable development and improve the appearance of the city.The infancy of the bio-cladding market means that there is a real opportunity to take market share, strengthening the UK's position as a global supplier of sustainable construction materials.

如果说COVID-19带来了什么好处的话，那就是对气候变化的加速反应。这是我们在复兴生物技术的愿景，以改变我们的建筑环境，并欢迎在一个新的更综合的方式思考城市生活。我们的项目是向市场提供一个设计良好的功能齐全的生物过滤覆板。我们受专利保护的设计利用了特别选择的苔藓，因为它们能够将细粉尘颗粒转化为生物质，并从空气中隔离二氧化氮。其强烈的绿色色彩还有助于减轻当地居民的压力，我们相信这将是我们城市环境中受欢迎的新鲜空气。对于房地产开发商来说，我们可衡量的环境效益使我们的覆层系统成为在日益受到监管的市场环境中可持续管理的成本效益工具。此外，作为企业责任战略的一部分，我们为企业提供机会，向更广泛的公众公开传达其社会责任。我们的生物覆层可以增强生物多样性，降低洪水风险，（通过吸收降雨），提高建筑物的热性能，从而降低相关的能源成本，有助于对抗城市热岛效应，支持更高密度的可持续发展，改善城市面貌。生物覆层市场的起步阶段意味着有真实的机会占据市场份额，加强英国作为可持续建筑材料全球供应商的地位。
