Abstract:

Wall-temperation - More comfort though activated brickwalls.

More than 90 % of our lifetime we spend inside buildings. Therefore it is very important to create an ambient indoor climate in buildings. Quality of indoor climate mainly depends on air temperature, average surface temperature and humidity. These three parameters interact and should be optimized to assure comfort and productivity of people. Especially bricks are known to influence indoor climate positively. In summer and winter due to high thermal mass overheating and cooling is avoided. Due to plaster and clay blocks humidity is regulated.
A new innovation of Wienerberger, the wall-temperation, strengthen and controls these positive properties. Heated or cooled Pipes in the middle of clay blocks activate the thermal mass and increase or decrease surface temperature of walls. Thus room temperature could be decreased without loss of comfort in winter. As a result energy demand for heating can be cut by 25 %. Lower air temperatures also indicate higher humidity and more comfort. The risk of dry air in winter is reduced to a minimum. Summing up Wienerberger wall temperation creates a healthy indoor climate and helps to save energy and money.
