Embedded thermal energy storage in floors is a cutting-edge technology designed to enhance a home’s energy efficiency. By integrating materials that can store and release heat, these systems help regulate indoor temperatures, reduce reliance on mechanical heating and cooling, and improve overall energy performance. Such innovations have a direct impact on Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings.
How Embedded Thermal Energy Storage Impacts EPC Ratings
EPCs evaluate a home’s energy efficiency, considering heating, cooling, insulation, and energy consumption. Homes with embedded thermal energy storage in floors can achieve improved EPC ratings due to:
Enhanced Energy Efficiency
Floors with thermal storage absorb excess heat during the day and release it at night, reducing energy demand for heating or cooling.Lower Energy Bills
By smoothing out temperature fluctuations, these systems reduce the need for continuous HVAC operation, saving energy and costs.Improved Thermal Comfort
Evenly distributed warmth or cooling enhances occupant comfort without increasing overall energy usage.
