Armstrong World Industries has expanded the availability of Templok® Energy Saving Ceilings to its Calla ceiling panels. Like Ultima Templok, Calla Templok can support up to 15% energy savings, improved indoor environmental quality and reduced embodied carbon. This continues to address the demand for solutions that reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in buildings.
Installing Templok panels in large surface areas of a given space supports improved thermal stability, reduced heating and cooling needs and more efficient HVAC operation, making the space more sustainable and resilient. The PCM in Templok helps to moderate temperature by passively storing and releasing heat in response to fluctuations in real time. Heat transfers naturally into and out of the panels as the air temperature above and below them warms up and falls, respectively. Heat absorption typically occurs during the day when a space is occupied. Heat release occurs at night when the building cools and/or is unoccupied. Templok ceilings offer the greatest temperature moderating impact in spaces with large temperature variations that are typically caused by climate or the presence of heat-
generating sources during the day.
Ultima Templok and Calla Templok fit into the thermal comfort portion of the WELL Building Standard™ and can contribute to energy and atmosphere credits for LEED®.
