<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Graham,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I work at an engineering firma in Barcelona, and we
are currently designig a small office buidling (2000 m2 aprox) with activated
cooling slabs in Tarragona (Latitude 41). The radiant (only cooling)
system is the BKT-Rautherm product by Rehau. The BKT will be presumably
installed this coming March.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Moreover, the Rehau offices in Barcelona have the
BKT system installed for heating and cooling and its been running for some
years.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you are interested in having more details on the
Tarragona building, let me know. Also, if you want more information on the Rehau
Headquarters in Barcelona, I can forward your request to our Rehau
contact.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [Bldg-sim] Case Studies of
Active Mass Ceilings</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>My company, Bovis Lend Lease, is potentially going to be
involved in the design & construct of a high rise ofice building employing
active mass ceilings (high temperature CHW through the structural slab exposed
to the occupied space below) in combination with underfloor air using 19C or
so air supplied through Krantz type swirl diffusers. Being in Sydney
Australia the focus is on cooling rather than heating although perimeter
heating would be provided via a separate underfloor air AHU or trench heating
etc.<BR><BR>The system offers IEQ and energy efficiency advantages in theory
... though there are a number of fitout and construction challenges.<BR><BR>We
are aware of numerous German and Swiss built examples of this type of system,
but understand the Canadians have been applying this type of system in places
thus I am hopeful this forum can assist with my query. I would
appreciate any information on buildings in operation or construction with
active mass cooling / ceilings outside of Germany and Switzerland.
Building names and locations as a minimum, but any other information would be
kindly received ...<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Graham Carter<BR><BR>
