10.000 m PE-MDX Pipe
The exhibition represents nine locations from seven countries on four continents and the most important climate zones, ranging from the Antarctica (-6° C) to the desert (+38°C).
Technologies like concrete core activation, coupling of power, heat and coldness and natural ventilation have been put to best use in this holistically-planned object. For heating and cooling the developers decide for the Uponor stapler system. Total 10.000 metres of PE-MDX pipes were installed. Due to the flexible pipe laying, this solution is suitable for all spaces and provides full surface radiant heating.
In addition, the project utilised Uponor’s HSE planning software for technical building equipment from preplanning to implementation. The CAD programme enables rapid, efficient, easy and standard calculation for heating surface design, heat input, heating pipe network and drinking water, helping professionals carry out the work correctly.

Ilmalanlinna, Helsinki
Due to the interest rates of the floor structures, underfloor heating at Uponor's new head office required a solution that would raise the floor surface as little as possible. A functional result was achieved with an unusual implementation, low-structure underfloor heating plates, which are mainly used in renovations of detached houses, and which increase the floor height by only 15 millimetres.

The New Deichmanske Library - Bjørvika, Oslo
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.
