Powerful integrated
CAURUS Hybrid system with building mass connection

Thanks to its comprehensive functionality, the CAURUS hybrid system with the A11-S, SPECTRA M-S radiant ceiling sails or SOFTLINE WOOD high performance module achieves an optimum room climate in any environment. This combination has very high heating and cooling capacities, convenient supply air ducting and very good acoustic properties.

Using the thermally active building system principle, this radiant ceiling system incorporates the storage mass for dissipating heating loads into the overall room thermal concept. This can significantly reduce operating costs and CO2 emissions.

Basis for assessment

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.
