HAUFE area temperature control
Our idea
Three components are decisive for the feeling of comfort: air and surface temperature as well as the air humidity in a room. If they are in due proportion to each other, you feel comfortable. A good room climate and pleasant room acoustics help people to concentrate better and work more relaxed. However, it is often difficult to combine all three requirements in a cost-effective and sophisticated manner. We took on this complex task and developed a slat system that cools and heats the room and significantly reduces the reverberation time in the room.
The HAUFE area heating system clearly stands out from many commercially available air-handling ceilings due to its extremely positive cost balance. Due to supply temperatures of 19° to 20° C for cooling and 26° to 28° C for heating as well as a large flow volume, ongoing operating costs are up to 75% lower compared to conventional heating/cooling systems.
A building can be heated and cooled with just one single hydraulic circuit. Conventional planning with concrete core activation or underfloor heating is superfluous since the HAUFE area temperature control accomplishes this function faster and more efficiently. In addition, the system can be operated solely with renewable energy sources such as geothermal energy and heat exchangers. If the required electricity is generated by a photovoltaic system, sophisticated planning enables the entire building to be operated independently and CO2-neutral, regardless of its size.
Supply and exhaust air, fire protection measures, lights and other built-in components are perfectly integrated into the overall system. The reverberation time is significantly reduced by special acoustic slats. The system’s low installation height significantly reduces construction costs.
Our cooperation with system partners guarantees the correct dimensioning of the system. In the planning phase, the built-in components, the position of the heating circuit manifolds and all other details can be planned precisely, thereby creating a uniform appearance of the ceiling.
Due to their geometry, rooms cannot always be fully laid out with temperature control elements. Therefore, the slats in the edge regions are carried on without temperature control to create a uniform ceiling appearance. Inspection flaps for the heating circuit manifold can be planned in these areas.
For quality assurance, laying companies must participate in our one-day training course in advance to get certified. We are happy to send a list of certified companies.
Building sustainably
Building sustainably is a standard with us. We process extremely durable products with the best functional characteristics and a high level of economy. The material characteristics are ecological and can be verified seamlessly. In addition, the HAUFE area temperature control system is qualified for use in accordance with DGNB, the German Sustainable Building Association.
• DGNB-qualified
• Ceiling can be used for more than 50 years
• Aluminum strips are made of 70% recycled material
• All materials – including HAUFE area temperature control – are individually separable and therefore 100% recyclable
• Plastic heating elements are made of one single material (polypropylene) – easier to recycle
System ceiling design according to EN 13964
HAUFE temperature control | industry
We offer our “sheer” surface-tempered slat system especially for production halls and industrial warehouses. In this case, we mainly focus on the system’s excellent functionality. Here, design aspects are deliberately neglected.
