We are builders in the Chicago land area.
We are involved in the "green building" and "healthy home" construction, our mission is to educate the public, of building industry practice of increasing the efficiency with which buildings and their sites use and harvest energy, water, and materials and reducing building impacts on human health and the environment, through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal — the complete building life cycle.

We are involved in the "green building" and "healthy home" Building Industry and we are registered with the Amercian Lung Association as healthy home builder.
We are glad to announce of our new product of Radiant Cooling and Radiant Heating "a new concept of air conditioning". This system is mounted in the ceiling behind gypsum drywall or plaster.
Finally, a single system that provides both heating and cooling through a hydronic radiant distribution system. Water is distributed through capillary tubes approximately 1/16-inch in diameter and spaced about 1/2 inch apart. These mats of capillary tubes are embedded behind ceiling gypsum board or an acoustical metal ceiling system.
The Radiant Cooling system works in conjunction with a Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS) significantly eliminates the contamination associated with re-circulated air, improving indoor air quality and reducing airborne transmitted contaminants. Improved air quality results in a better indoor environment, increasing productivity and health.
and to control dew point.
How Does Radiant Cooling Work?
Radiant cooling follows the same principles as radiant heating. Heat moves between the space and the panels through a temperature differential. However, unlike radiant heating, the colder ceiling absorbs the thermal energy radiating from people and their surroundings. The major difference between cooled ceilings and air-cooling is the heat transport mechanism. Air-cooling uses convection only, but radiant ceilings use a combination of radiation and convection. This amount of radiant heat transfer can be as high as fifty five per cent, while convection accounts for the remainder.
This product/concept was invented in Germany and it is widely accepted throught Europe.
