Comes the invisible air conditioning

The onset of winter is an increase in energy consumption of buildings, biggest lighting needs, hot water, heating, etc. The average Spanish household energy expenditure cost of 650 euros per year, and 46 percent of this is exclusively destined for heating, according to the Organization of the fair of the air conditioning. In addition, these consumption tend to increase year after year.

The invisible air conditioning system consists of a circuit of pipes integrated into the floor of the housing that runs water at the ideal temperature according to the time of the year and transmitting energy by radiation. In winter the water temperature is 35 to 40 ° c to 70 ° C of the radiators. On the other hand, to transmit temperature by radiation is not necessary to calefactar the entire volume of air in the housing, is enough to heat a few meters, which is why this energy saving is achieved.

All this must be added that the temperature achieved is homogeneous, because the circuit of pipe runs along the entire surface of the housing, achieving a greater comfort of users.

According to the Plan of action E4 Plus (PA E4 +) 2008-2012, approved last summer by the Council of Ministers, is really an urgent need to lower the energy consumption for reduced energy dependence on the outside and comply with the Kyoto Protocol.

In this sense, invisible air conditioning system could respond to this need that not only the system achieves energy savings of 30 percent, but in combination with solar energy, geothermal, etc., a saving of 70 per cent could be achieved.

On the other hand, to achieve the levels of reduction of energy consumption in our country, it should not be forgotten the parquet floors of houses already built. In this sense, any measures oriented towards market reform is essential, and why Uponor has released recently its 'Mini' system of invisible air conditioning that can be installed on the existing pavement, raising the height of the ground only 1 centimeter.

Advantages of the Uponor Invisible air conditioning

· Cost savings: the Uponor invisible air conditioning can save 30 percent on energy consumption Bill. In other words, about 300 euros per year (study conducted on a basis of a housing height of 90 square meters which complies with the CTE). In addition, the Uponor invisible air conditioning does not require maintenance.

· Invisible system: generates clear spaces with decorative freely. This is especially important if we consider that the housing type has increasingly less square meters.

· Healthy comfort: the Uponor invisible air conditioning distributed temperature evenly. In addition, the operation of the solution, as opposed to traditional cooling systems, not based on currents of air which prevents the movement of dust, and therefore the resulting allergic reactions trigger.

· Ecological: allows the use of alternative sources of energy such as solar thermal and geothermal, among others. Likewise, reduced by 30 per cent emissions of CO₂ in the environment.
