Different priorities.
Better building outcomes.
The decisions that shape a building's cost, comfort and long-term performance are connected. Start with the responsibility you carry—and explore what changes when the building itself can store and manage heating and cooling.
Start with the decision that matters.
Choose your responsibility or the outcome you need to improve. Both lead to a practical project question, the tradeoffs to test and evidence worth reviewing.
Compare baseline mechanical scope with a load-informed alternative; account for added integration costs and assess the effect on total project capital.
Evaluate energy, maintenance, replacement exposure, occupant comfort and resilience together across the expected ownership period.
Explore how air-driven thermal storage within concrete floors works with conventional HVAC, space planning and occupant comfort.
Test load profiles, air delivery, controls, setpoints, equipment sizing and backup strategies before claiming project savings.
Assess thermal stability, peak demand and shifting opportunities alongside operational requirements and grid constraints.
Go deeper into your project's priorities.
Each pathway looks at the same building strategy through a different project responsibility. Use the decision tool above to identify your starting point, or go directly to a framework below.
Start with the building, then evaluate the systems.
Conventional planning often treats structure, HVAC capacity, energy demand and operating economics as separate decisions. Termobuild's air-driven approach integrates thermal storage with concrete floors and conventional HVAC to create another option for the project team to evaluate.
It does not eliminate the need for mechanical systems, ventilation, controls or backup strategies. The opportunity is to test whether the whole-building approach can deliver a better outcome.
- Define the project's constraint
Capital budget, peak loads, comfort, operating cost or resilience.
- Compare realistic alternatives
Establish a conventional baseline and model the integrated thermal strategy.
- Verify the whole-project economics
Account for mechanical changes, structural integration, controls and ongoing operation.
- Decide with evidence
Review project-specific performance, constructability and responsibilities before specifying a solution.
Don’t start with a promise. Start with the evidence.
Use these resources to examine what was estimated, what has been reported in operation, and how the approach integrates with conventional building systems.
