Looking to find innovative ways to boost employee productivity, save money and innovate business operations?
Learn how radiant heating and cooling improves the lives and productivity of employees, boosts corporate perception, and saves businesses money.
Discover real-world examples of how businesses and organizations incorporate radiant heating and cooling into their builds.
Addressing issues with pollution, climate change, indoor air quality and building energy efficiency are all reasons to find better, renewable sources of energy and innovative cooling solutions.
Although improvements are being made by implementing safer, less costly energy sources, maximising energy efficiency remains a challenge for most buildings.
So, what can be done?
The use of thermally active building systems (TABS) started in Switzerland in the early 1990’s. Mostly used in new office buildings, TABS have been installed in offices across Europe, North America and Asia.
TABS are water-based heating/cooling systems in which pipes are embedded in concrete slabs of buildings. The main advantage of using this system is that it reduces the peak load by activating the thermal storage capacity of the buildings concrete slabs.
In this blog, we will take a simple look at how TABS work and the main benefits of using this system in new construction projects. Continue reading
Thermal utilisation of ground energy in conjunction with thermally active building systems or TABS provides an ideal heating and cooling solution. On the one hand, it can make a contribution to environmental protection; and on the other operating costs are reduced through the use of this sustainable energy solution. A distinction is made between horizontal and vertical collectors in the ground as seen in the image below.
When it comes to controlling the indoor temperatures of complex environments such as modern buildings, innovative solutions are required. HVAC systems are relatively climate sensitive, and so the need for modern temperature regulation systems to function reliably in all climates becomes greater.
