Thermally Activated Building Systems (TABS)

Cooling water is circulated through the Uponor pipes, which are embedded within the concrete slab of the structure and thus it is fully noiseless system.
Uponor TABS Contec is designed to handle the basic cooling loads of the buildings, in order to maintain a constantly comfortable indoor climate – independently of outside temperatures. Uponor Contect uses the ceiling surfaces for cooling transfer, but also utilizes the storage capacity of the concrete core ceiling.

In summer time during night-time the ceiling will be re-cooled and can then absorb warmth from the building during day time – keeping a constant and productive working environment in office buildings. The system requires only low energy consumption due to the mean operating temperature of the water (18-28°C). This allows the energy-efficient use of renewable energy sources. This results in significantly reduced operating and maintenance costs. This solution creates a significantly improved indoor environment. Occupants in commercial and office buildings will benefit for their personal health and work productivity.

“Uponor TABS Contec uses the concrete mass of the building structure to store and exchange thermal energy to the neighbouring areas of the building”
