Thermally Activated Building Systems (TABS) as Uponor Contec.

Sluppenveien 17 is the first project to use the TABS solution from Uponor. (TABS – Thermally Active Building Systems)

The IKEA homestore in Rothenburg in the Canton of Lucerne, uses the TABS Thermally Active Building System from Uponor to cater for heating and cooling requirements.

Deichman is equipped with Thermally Active Building System - a system for storing the energy in the concrete ceiling. It is primarily a cooling system, but it can also be used as a heating system. When in cooling mode, no energy is used as the heat is drawn into the concrete, only when it is transferred from the concrete and into the water pipes that are cast in the decking. The need for installed power is reduced, and operating expenses are significantly reduced as opposed to in a air-based cooling system. The TABS is cast into the Prefab elements, which is a BubbleDeck construction with spans up to 10.5 meters.
