The Challenge

Mongolia's Buildings Are Losing the Fight Against Cold

Ulaanbaatar is the world's coldest capital. Inadequate building insulation drives energy waste, devastating air pollution, and a public health crisis that affects every citizen.

8–9 Month Heating Season

Temperatures plunge below –30°C. Buildings need continuous heating from September through May — making insulation the single most impactful energy intervention.

Inadequate Building Stock

Over 60% of Ulaanbaatar's housing lacks adequate thermal insulation. Heat loss through walls accounts for 50–60% of total building energy consumption.

Air Pollution Crisis

Burning coal for heat makes UB one of the most polluted cities on Earth. PM2.5 regularly exceeds WHO limits by 10–20x. Proper insulation directly reduces coal dependence.

Energy Security

Mongolia imports over 22% of its electricity. Building insulation is the fastest, most cost-effective path to reducing national energy demand.

Sustainability

Insulation That Heals, Not Harms

Every material choice considers the full lifecycle — from Mongolian sheep pastures to building demolition decades from now.

Renewable Raw Materials

Sheep wool is a naturally renewable by-product. Cotton provides consistency. Both are biodegradable at end of life.

Carbon Negative Potential

Wool stores carbon. With embodied energy of just 6 MJ/kg, wool insulation can achieve net-negative carbon over building lifetime.

Reduces Air Pollution

Proper insulation directly reduces coal burning for heat — the primary cause of Ulaanbaatar's winter air pollution crisis.

No Toxic Manufacturing

Needle-punch bonding is purely mechanical — no formaldehyde resins, no chemical binders, no toxic off-gassing.

Fully Recyclable

At end of building life, wool-cotton insulation can be reused, composted, or recycled — zero landfill impact.

Healthier Indoor Spaces

Wool absorbs formaldehyde and VOCs; moisture-buffering prevents mold. Safe to handle — no skin irritation, no respiratory risk.
