Taxidermy Meets Tax Savings: Nature Center “Goes Wild” for Templok® Ceilings

The Challenge
The aging HVAC systems at Nixon Park Nature Center struggled to control temperature and humidity, compromising visitor comfort, threatening sensitive exhibits, and increasing energy costs.

The Approach
York County partnered with McClure Company to install Ultima® Templok® ceilings, using phase change material technology alongside upgraded controls to improve thermal comfort and HVAC efficiency.

The Results
The renovation delivered more consistent temperatures and improved thermal comfort, reduced energy use and operating costs, and supported tax savings through an upfront investment tax credit.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How can a ceiling help with energy costs and consumption?
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.
-
What are the benefits of installing Energy Saving Ceilings?
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.
-
How do Templok Energy Saving Ceilings work?
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.
-
What materials are used to make the phase change material (PCM) technology used in Templok ceiling tiles?
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.
