Closed and wood-hybrid climate
ceilings with building mass coupling
The thermal management of the room-enclosing areas, in particular the concrete corner, can make an important contribution to the energy-efficient operation of a building. However, in closed metal or plasterboard ceiling systems, the concrete ceiling is decoupled from the warm room air. In this way, it is not possible to use the building mass effectively as an „energy buffer“ for the buffering of the room loads.
In this way, the potential of the concrete mass is largely lost. This is in contrast to the common metal ceiling sails, which leave approximately 50% of the concrete ceiling free. These were discussed in the knowledge document „Climate ceiling systems with building mass connection“.
This document addresses the following questions:
- Challenge due to closed metal and plasterboard ceilings
- Wood hybrid design challenge
- Operating principle of modern supply air passages for climate ceilings with mass connection
