The integration of ArmstrongTemplok Ceilingtiles into the VE provides a fast, streamlined and easy-to-use method of simulating the effect of phase change materials within your VE building model.
Armstrong Templok is a suspended ceiling tile that includes a PCM material layer on the plenum-side surface. Armstrong Templok ceiling tiles are part of a standard Armstrong suspended ceiling system.
This is catered for in the VE by providing a new sub surface type, Surface Tile. This facilitates the assignment of the PCM tile to ceiling surfaces and allows for association between the surface and the PCM construction.
These will be discussed in detail in the following sections.
