In concrete core activation - also known as thermal component activation - pipelines are inserted into the component and the storage mass of the solid components is used to heat or cool the rooms.
More about concrete core activation
Concrete core activation is a surface heating system, so the transfer area is significantly larger compared to conventional radiators. As a result, these systems can be operated with much lower flow temperatures, which makes the use of renewable energies such as geothermal energy and heat pumps possible.

Notes on planning
The prefabricated pipe systems, also known as pipe registers, are installed in the reinforcement layers of solid components in a spiral (distance up to 30 cm) and must therefore be integrated into the planning of the formwork, reinforcement and concreting work.
To ensure optimal heat transfer to the rooms, ceilings with concrete core activation must not be clad or hung. (Exception: air-permeable ceiling cladding, e.g. expanded metal)
Surface heating systems such as concrete core activation are often only suitable for heating buildings with low heat requirements, which is why concrete core activation is usually combined with another heating system.
