How TERMODECK Works



TERMODECK relies upon the “thermal mass” by using a system of hollow core slabs.

Thermal Mass is achieved by substances that absorb and hold hot and cool energy. Of all substances, the thermal conductivity of concrete is the most universally suitable and caters to any type of climate.

TermoDeck Principals
The effects of using the heat storage capacity of hollow core slabs varies between summer and winter conditions. Surplus heat, generated from body heat, lighting, computers, sun radiation, etc, can be stored in the slabs increasing their temperature by 2-3°C during the day without affecting the comfort of the occupants. In the summer this excess heat is dissipated from the slabs by cooling the slabs with cool night air in temperate climates, or using conventional chillers, but with up to a 50% reduction in capacity when compared to conventional technologies, in hot climates.
