Airfl oor™ is Essential

And it also provides signifi cant benefi ts to human comfort.

You’ve envisioned an aspirational space: open, uncluttered, pleasing to humanitarian perspectives; but now you must integrate the intru-sive cylinders of air ducts, unions and diffusers, or even a drop ceiling. Ideal mechanicals would allow this aesthetic challenge to disappear...

...and that’s just one of the benefi cial aspects of Airfl oor. Its air-delivery plenum is concealed beneath the fl oor in a contiguous array of steel igloos, only 3.75 inches in height. These allow airfl ow in all directions, warming the fl oor in win-

ter and cooling it in summer; and they allow the concrete fl oor to act as an homogenous thermal mass, gently radiating or absorbing heat, freeing the space from drafts of chilling or over-warming air.

Forced-air ventilation, moving at greatly-reduced fl ow rates through virtually-hidden fl oor registers, provides fresh air gently and

silently. Inhabitants and visitors uniquely forget the source of their bodily com-fort in such an environment, as they should.

Airfl oor integrates with standard HVAC equipment to provide its enhancing effects. No special-ized systems are required. As well, property owners are liberated from the leak, tubing embrittle-ment and pump-maintenance concerns associated with hy-dronic radiant systems. As shown at Grace Farms, and hundreds of other installations, everyone wins.
