The velta contec system goes further than heating and cooling in screeds by utilising the main thermal mass of the building. By embedding the robust velta 20mm PE-Xa pipes into the structure itself and controlling the core temperature of the building mass, the internal environment of the building is automatically controlled.

	If the building surfaces are warmer than the room – the velta contec heating system
	If the building surfaces are cooler than the room – the velta contec cooling system

Ideally suited to multi storey buildings, the velta contec system can be installed in;

	Reinforced concrete cast in-situ slabs, typically 200-400mm thick
	Precast concrete units
	Permanent formwork construction such as Holorib decks
	Walls

The many benefits associated with the velta screed applications for heating and cooling may be enjoyed with the velta contec system as well as the following additional benefits;

	Low installation costs – 30-50% savings
	Low maintenance and operating costs – up to 50% savings
	Fast prefabricated construction technique
	Can utilise floor, ceiling and wall surfaces
	Low temperature water for heating – 25°C – providing output up to 25W/m2
	High temperature water for cooling – 16°C – providing output up to 60W/m2
	Use of renewable energy sources
	Geothermal
	Solar
	Ground heat exchangers
	Water sources
	Cool night air
	Transfer of peak loads – the high thermal mass of the system allows peak loads to be absorbed and transferred to periods of lower demand

The use of the velta contec system must be considered in the early stages of a project and technical support provided to the design team, so that all the benefits are achieved and the special design considerations appreciated by the team. Ideal for use in;

	Hospitals
	Offices
	Museums and galleries
	Public areas
	Universities
