Thermocast
Increasing energy costs and growing environmental concerns demand ever-more sustainable and economical construction methods. Many modern day industrial and commercial buildings have a net seasonal cooling requirement, which is traditionally achieved by use of air conditioning. Air conditioning has a heavy environmental price, contributing to global warming.
Cool solution to temperature control
Thermocast offers the construction industry a simple, clean and cost-efficient solution that does not require night time purging of the structure. It is a low energy innovative cooling system that is:
- Structurally sound
- Aesthetically pleasing
- Design-enhancing
- Environmentally friendly
- Controllable
- Affordable
Thermocast System
The system comprises of manufactured precast concrete coffered units, laced with an internal matrix of polybutylene pipes. Temperature-controlled water is passed through the pipes to cool the structure. It utilises water as its cooling energy source (a naturally occurring, self-replenishing resource).
Units respond quickly and directly to changes in temperature. It provides constant performance, irrespective of ambient conditions. Thermocast units absorb the excess heat from the internal environment naturally.
