Concrete Core Activation

Concrete Core Activation

Concrete core activation, also known as thermal component activation or concrete core tempering, is increasingly used as an innovative and cost-effective method for heating and cooling buildings. In this process, concrete ceilings and walls serve as active heating or cooling surfaces to regulate indoor air quality. This is achieved by leveraging the thermal storage capacity of the ceilings and walls, combined with embedded pipe systems that circulate warm or cold water. Concrete core activation is often integrated into the modern architecture of larger building complexes.

The technology of concrete core activation allows for efficient use of thermal mass, leading to a more energy-efficient building operation. It reduces the need for conventional heating and cooling systems, thereby lowering operational costs. In Cologne's trendy I/D Cologne A2 district, aedifion successfully supported the digital, data-driven commissioning of the concrete core activation system. With a simple plug-and-play setup, the building, despite its complex technical systems, quickly achieved optimal operational efficiency. The building's operation now benefits from a sustained reduction in CO2 emissions.
