Energy Saving Ceilings

TEMPLOK ceilings contain temperature-regulating Phase Change Material (PCM). This temperature-regulating property of PCM 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.

Installing 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 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 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 crystallizes and dissolves as it changes phase. The PCM is sealed in a metalized film adhered to the back of the ceiling panel.

TEMPLOK ceilings are installed like regular ceiling panels but only in full-grid openings because they cannot be cut or punctured.  

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

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

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