Perfectly integrated
AQUILO Hybrid system with building mass connection

AQUILO + the A11 or SPECTRA M radiant ceiling system are highly efficient radiant ceiling systems with integrated supply air and superior acoustic effectiveness. The integrated supply air element delivers highly effective ventilation results. At the same time, the supply air jet on the back of the ceiling panel increases the convective capacity, which supports the heating and cooling effect in the room without a risk of draughts.

The AQUILO hybrid system with A11-C and SPECTRA M-C ceilings incorporate the storage mass for dissipating heating loads using the thermally active building system principle.

The A11-S sail allows the use of our specially developed Convector Wings to increase performance.

  • In combination with A11-S, A11-C, SPECTRA M-S, SPECTRA M-C
  • Very high heating & cooling capacity
  • Superior sound absorption values (class A)
  • Enhanced energy efficiency thanks to active building mass connection (A11-C, SPECTRA M-C)
  • Sound power level Lw: < 25 dB (A)
  • Fresh air intake is silent and draught-free thanks to ceiling panel perforations
  • Components can be integrated

Cooling capacity

The cooling capacity corresponds to the amount of energy per second removed from the room via heat radiation and convection. It is determined in accredited climate laboratories in accordance with SN EN 14240.

For comparison: the heat emitted by a person in an office via radiation and convection is approx. 70 – 80 W; the heat emitted by a laptop is approx. 20 – 50 W.

Heating capacity

The heating capacity corresponds to the energy per second added to the room via heat radiation and convection. It is determined in accredited climate laboratories in accordance with SN EN 14037.

For comparison: The heat output of a person in an office via radiation and convection is approx. 70 – 80 W, whilst that of a laptop is approx. 20 – 50 W.

Sound absorption

As the largest unobstructed surface in a room, the ceiling is particularly well suited to sound absorption. The sound absorption class is determined in accordance with EN ISO 11654, based on measurements carried out in accordance with EN ISO 354 in accredited laboratories.

It serves as a parameter for acoustic designers to calculate the effect of a product on a room’s reverberation time.

Carbon footprint

The carbon footprint represents the total CO₂ emissions generated throughout a product’s life cycle (from manufacture through to operation and recycling/disposal).

It is calculated by independent institutes and summarised in an ‘Environmental Product Declaration’ (EPD). Barcol-Air is working specifically to reduce the proportion of high-emission materials such as aluminum and other metals.

By way of comparison: the production of 1 kg of aluminum releases approximately 16 kg of CO₂.
