Energy saving and the rational use of natural resources in the building process, nowadays, are very debated environmental issues, involving researchers and companies in the production and testing of innovative materials. Reducing the consumption of resources means more durable buildings, thus an important contribution in this way is given by the knowledge of the durability of products and building components. This is fundamental when innovative products are applied and no information are available on their service life. The research concerns the evaluation of the durability of cement-based photocatalytic coatings, containing different types of pigments, used for external finishing of buildings. These products were prepared using photocatalytic cements by Italcementi (TX Active®). The investigated aspects were: the photocatalytic activity, conferring self-cleaning attitude, and the colorimetry. The ISO 15686 methodology was followed, by means of accelerated ageing tests in climatic chamber and natural ageing tests.
