TermoDeck is a low energy HVAC concept that is actively using the thermal mass of the building. TermoDeck is not just a product delivered to site, but a comprehensive system from design to final completion. TermoDeck uses normally standard hollow-core concrete slabs which are modified to serve as a store of energy. The supply air is circulated in the cavities in each slab before entering the room. During daytime, most of the internal heat gains can be stored in the slabs. TermoDeck is very comfortable for the occupants as there are no draughts or noise from the supply air. In hot climates, a 50% reduction in installed cooling load can be achieved compared with a Conventional Air Conditioning (CAC) building since the building is cooled during a longer period. This will mean substantial savings in capital costs. Peak power reductions of up to 90% have been achieved for some hours during mid day period in all TermoDeck projects in the Middle East compared to CAC buildings. In colder climates, the energy consumption and CO2 emissions will be reduced compared with a CAC building. The energy stored during the day can be used to compensate for the fabric losses during the night. Free night cooling is used instead of using chillers during day time. There is no need for radiators due to the radiation from ceiling and floor surfaces. As less material is used (no chilled beams / FCUs / radiators) LCC costs are reduced. TermoDeck is equally effective in all types of climates, e.g. Scandinavia, Middle East, UK, Canada, Southern Africa and Australia. Over 430 buildings have been constructed using TermoDeck, including offices, hospitals, hotels, universities, schools, shopping malls and residential buildings. Making TermoDeck a national product can effectively ensure that peak power loads are substantially reduced. This will reduce the high investments in the power sector. A study made for Saudi Arabia showed a saving of USD 8,6 billion during a 15-year period.
