Energy Saving Ceilings

Temperature regulation allows for reduced HVAC operating costs and energy use. Energy Saving Ceilings with TEMPLOK are an easy way to contribute to your overall energy and cost savings initiatives.

Drop ceiling grids with ceiling tiles backed with phase change material (PCM) technology contribute to a more comfortable environment while decreasing energy consumption. The primary benefits include temperature regulation, reduced hot/hold complaints, reduced heating and cooling costs, and more efficient HVAC operations. 

TEMPLOK ceilings use a specially designed phase change material (PCM) technology that melts and freezes around 72°F. During warm periods, the PCM technology gradually melts and passively cools the space while also trapping the excess heat. The stored heat can be released back to the building at night as temperature drops, re-freezing the PCM technology. During cool periods, and in a building that naturally gains excess heat during the day, PCM technology can help to retain the excess heat to keep the building warmer at night.

The phase change material (PCM) technology contains a water and salt solution that crystalizes and dissolves as it changes phase. The PCM is sealed in welded compartments in the tile. 

Spaces with large temperature variations caused by the climate or the presence of heat-generating sources during the day. Healthcare facilities, offices, and schools will benefit greatly from the cost savings.  

No. TEMPLOK ceiling tiles are designed to be used in drop ceiling applications only.  

TEMPLOK ceiling tiles cannot be cut or punctured. Use the standard matching acoustical tile without the TEMPLOK backer for grid openings requiring tile cuts (borders, lights, vents, etc.).
