Climate ceiling
Gentle coolness
The cooling effect of the climate ceiling is achieved in two different ways. Heat from people,
objects and surfaces is radiated to the cooler surface of the climate ceiling. By absorbing this
excess heat, a radiant cooling effect is created. Secondly, the ambient air is cooled by the
climate ceiling through convection. As the delivered cooling effect is spread over the entire
surface of the ceiling, the highest possible comfort level is attained.
Radiant heating
The surface of the climate ceiling is heated by hot water flowing through the copper tubes,
radiating heat into the room. Surfaces and objects, including people, floors, walls, furniture,
etc, are heated up directly through radiation.
Radiant heating increases the perceived comfort of occupants, by heating surfaces and
objects directly rather than the entire volume of air in the room.
