Underfloor Air Conditioning
Our underfloor air conditioning systems use raised floor voids to deliver conditioned air through discreet floor-level units. This approach improves energy efficiency by leveraging natural thermal stratification while enabling flexible workspace layouts. Systems integrate seamlessly with BMS protocols for centralised monitoring and optimisation.
Conditioned Air Modules
High-performance CAM units provide localised heating and cooling through refrigerant or water coils. Their compact design suits modular applications, featuring low-noise EC fans and replaceable filters for sustained air quality. Available in upflow and downflow configurations to match architectural requirements.
Fantile Terminal Units
These floor-recessed units deliver precise airflow control with motorised dampers and EC fans. Their plug-and-play design allows easy relocation during office reconfigurations. Models vary by floor void depth, supporting standard, shallow, or heritage building applications without raised floor integration.
Smart Climate Control
Our Fatronic controllers enable individual user adjustments at floor level, while FlexTouch panels manage zoned environments. Central FlexMatic systems integrate with BMS for building-wide monitoring, supporting energy optimisation and compliance with sustainability standards like BREEAM.
Sustainability Consultancy
We advise on circular design principles to reduce material waste and energy consumption. Our systems support NABERS 4.5 and BREEAM Excellent targets through decentralised ventilation strategies, steelwork savings, and 100% electric operation for low-carbon footprints.
Questions
What is underfloor air conditioning?
Underfloor air conditioning uses raised floor voids to distribute conditioned air through floor-level units, improving energy efficiency and enabling flexible workspace layouts without traditional ductwork.
How do AET's systems support sustainability?
Our modular designs reduce material waste, support circular economy principles, and achieve BREEAM/NABERS targets through energy-efficient operation and decentralised ventilation strategies.
Can systems be retrofitted into existing buildings?
Yes. The CAMC upflow configuration and TUC Fantile model suit shallow floor voids in heritage or retrofit projects without requiring raised floor integration.
What control options are available?
Local Fatronic controllers allow individual adjustments. FlexTouch panels manage zoned environments, while FlexMatic systems enable centralised BMS integration for building-wide monitoring and optimisation.
Are systems suitable for high-ceiling spaces?
The CAMV downflow configuration is ideal for high ceilings, using high-level return air extraction to enhance thermal stratification and energy efficiency in open-plan environments.
How are systems maintained?
Replaceable fabric filters and modular components simplify maintenance. Our in-house service team provides ongoing support, including performance diagnostics and system upgrades.
