TermoDeck is a system that uses the thermal mass in hollowcore concrete floors to provide low energy heating and cooling.
The Concrete Centre
BREEAM is a suite of assessment methods developed by BRE that provide a benchmark for sustainable construction and design.
The Concrete Centre
The hybrid concrete structure, combines a cast insitu fame with long span prestressed precast T beams is exposed inside, which together with polished concrete floors, provide thermal mass and a comfortable but robust, contemporary environment.
