Active Air by Indecal: radiant ceiling with active air purification

Indoor air quality is now a top priority in building design. Closed spaces, often characterized by poor ventilation and high occupancy density, can compromise people's well-being and health.

With Active Air, Indecal offers a system that goes beyond traditional radiant air conditioning: a radiant ceiling with active air purification function , capable of simultaneously ensuring thermal comfort and environmental health.

Radiant comfort and clean air in a single solution

Active Air was created to meet the new needs of contemporary construction: comfortable, quiet, energy-efficient, and healthy environments.

The system integrates radiant ceiling technology —which heats and cools rooms by radiation, maintaining a uniform and natural temperature—with an active air purification module that works constantly to eliminate pollutants, bacteria, and odors present in indoor environments.

The objective is twofold: to ensure stable thermal comfort and at the same time improve the microbiological quality of the air , helping to create healthier and more livable spaces in any context.

How the active purification system works

The operating principle of Active Air is based on photocatalytic oxidation technology , a process that uses the combination of light and catalysts to generate active ions capable of neutralizing viruses, bacteria, mold and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Unlike passive filtration systems, which only retain physical particles, active purification acts directly on contaminants present in the air and on surfaces, ensuring continuous and widespread action without the need for frequent maintenance or filter replacement.

In this way, Active Air significantly improves indoor air quality, reducing the risks associated with chemical and biological pollutants and promoting a higher perceived well-being.

Benefits for public, school and professional environments

The performance of the Active Air system is best expressed in environments where comfort and health must coexist : schools, offices, healthcare facilities, retirement homes, commercial or management spaces.
In these contexts, the combination of radiant air conditioning and active air purification allows for:

• improve air quality and reduce the concentration of pathogens;
• eliminate odors and volatile organic substances;
• maintain uniform and constant thermal conditions ;
• limit noise and airflow, for silent and natural comfort.

For building designers and managers, Active Air represents an integrated solution that concretely responds to new air safety and hygiene protocols, while at the same time reducing energy consumption thanks to the use of radiant technology.

Energy efficiency and air quality: a sustainable balance

Like all solutions in the Indecal range, Active Air is also designed to work in combination with low-temperature heat pumps , optimising consumption and reducing CO₂ emissions.

Radiant air conditioning allows for natural thermal comfort with lower energy requirements than forced ventilation systems, while active purification works autonomously, with reduced consumption and without the need for additional ventilation systems.

The result is a highly efficient and low environmental impact system, capable of combining sustainability and air quality in a single construction element.

Indecal Active Air: well-being, safety, and innovation

Active Air represents the natural evolution of Indecal research towards increasingly complete environmental comfort.

No longer just heat and cooling, but also clean air and healthy environments, thanks to discreet, silent technology that can be integrated into any architectural project.

A system designed for people's well-being and the sustainability of buildings, which confirms Indecal's vision: transforming air conditioning into a tool for overall health, efficiency, and comfort.
