Why this matters

Urban density in coastal Nigeria demands resilient structures that cool themselves, adapt to humidity swings, and integrate renewable energy by design. Our adaptive façade tiles rotate 6° every hour, tracking sun paths to reduce heat gain while maximizing PV yield.

Under each tile, plug-and-play sensors push data to a cloud twin, allowing facilities teams to simulate maintenance, schedule cleaning drones, and forecast occupant comfort in real time.

Key specs

  • 30% Faster delivery using modular steel cores and façade cassettes.
  • 42% Lower annual energy demand validated through digital twins.
  • 24/7 Telemetry streaming from air-quality, vibration, and light sensors.

Deployment roadmap

  1. Prototype floorset constructed inside IHJO fabrication campus.
  2. Live testing with mixed residential/commercial loads for 120 days.
  3. Scaled deployment across Rivers and Lagos high streets from Q2 2026.
“The façade listens to the climate, clients, and community—it's a living membrane that keeps buildings responsive.” — Ismaila Hamza Bello, Managing Director
