Energy Saving Ceilings

Reduce building HVAC energy costs and consumption up to 15%*

Energy costs and consumption in buildings account for 40% of global energy use. New TEMPLOK Ceilings absorb and release heat, thereby regulating indoor temperature and reducing energy usage. By installing Energy Saving Ceilings in one of the largest surface areas in your space, you’ll notice improved thermal comfort, reduced heating and cooling needs, and more efficient HVAC operation resulting in a more sustainable, resilient space.

How Do Energy Saving Ceilings Work?

Energy Saving Ceilings combine phase change material (PCM) technology with standard Armstrong Ceiling panels. 

PCMs are used in many applications including temperature-regulating mattresses, cooling food and drinks, activewear, temperature-sensitive prescription delivery and more. In all of these applications, the PCMs are used to control the temperature by absorbing, storing and releasing heat in a continuous cycle as surrounding temperatures change.

One area that is often overlooked within the construction industry is the ceiling plane – the large surface area is ideal for PCM placement. Just as in other applications, the PCM technology works within TEMPLOK Energy Saving Ceilings to cool and help regulate indoor temperature passively.

The PCM in TEMPLOK Ceilings exchanges heat with air on both sides of the ceiling.

Heat absorbs into the PCM ceiling tile naturally as the air above and below the ceiling warms up, typically during the daytime.

Heat releases out of the PCM ceiling tile as the building temperature falls, typically at night or when the space is unoccupied.
