Concrete core activation České Budějovice Research Library
Heating and cooling of the new research library with the Contec ON concrete core activation system
Books require year-round indoor temperature
This building with a total ground area of 1,000 m2 is equipped with the Contec ON concrete core activation system for year round temperature control of the interior climate within the required limits (between 20 and 26 °C summer/winter). Due to the options on offer, the entire system is fed from one place through ten outlets using PE-Xa 40 mm piping, to which separate modules for activation of the Contec ON system are connected by Tichelmann distributor. It is a one-storey building with a completely glazed façade without any shade whatsoever. With regard to these circumstances, a study was conducted using a 3D model with dynamic simulation of changing temperatures and burdens. The Contec ON system is capable of covering all temperature requirements all year round.
