Technical Briefing: Understanding Underfloor Air Conditioning

Webinar

Friday 30 January 2026
10:00 - 11:00

Free

Join AET’s CPD briefing on Underfloor Air Conditioning, exploring design freedom, sustainability, height savings, and flexibility. Discover integration strategies, HVAC comparisons, and real-world global project applications.

As sustainability, flexibility, and efficiency become central to modern building design, built environment professionals face increasing pressure to deliver spaces that meet the demands of today while anticipating the needs of tomorrow. Join AET to learn more about Underfloor Air Conditioning.

Traditional overhead air conditioning often creates challenges: it can compromise ceiling height, restrict architectural vision, cause occupant discomfort from drafts, and result in costly reconfigurations during CAT-B fit-outs. AET’s UfAC system solves these problems by transforming the floor void into an energy-efficient plenum that delivers conditioned air via modular Fantiles™ powered by CAM units.

This approach unlocks measurable benefits:

Design freedom for architects, with cleaner ceilings and preserved heritage features.
Sustainability gains, with reduced embodied carbon — cutting Upfront Carbon by 18% and Whole Life Carbon by 16%.
Height savings, enabling extra lettable space in new builds.
Flexibility, with layouts easily adapted for new tenants and future workplace needs.

What you’ll learn

Gain insights into:

The sustainability credentials of UfAC.
Key design considerations for seamless integration.
How underfloor systems compare to traditional HVAC.
Real-world examples of projects across the UK and globally.
