Tarmac's low energy, high thermal mass solution
Tarmac's building solutions have been designed with tomorrow in mind. Providing low energy, high thermal mass performance, our solutions help to reduce the carbon emissions over the life of a school building by heating and cooling without the need for energy-intensive air conditioning systems.
TermoDeck
At the core of Tarmac's low energy solution is TermoDeck. This proven system actively uses the thermal mass of a school building to heat, cool and ventilate the internal environment without the need for air conditioning, while 100% fresh air keeps students focused and alert.
Hollowcore
A key component of both active and passive thermal mass systems, Tarmac's hollowcore slabs provide an excellent quality soffit finish allowing them to be left exposed in all school rooms.
Precast wall panels
Tarmac's precast wall panels complete our energy-efficient school envelope, ensuring that a school building maximises the benefits of thermal mass.
