AIRDECK BUILDING CONCEPTS NV
SMART BUILDING STRUCTURES, OFFERING COMFORTABLE SPACES,
ADAPTED TO THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF OUR FUTURE HEALTHCARE.
Airdeck Building Concepts produces smart building structures for
tomorrow’s sustainable buildings, consisting of large-spanned precast
constructive floors. Airdeck® structures are lightweight and combine
bidirectional load bearing capability with slim design (eg beams are not
needed). All techniques and utilities (e.g. concrete core activation to heat
and cool the interior space) can easily be integrated into the building
structure. The use of Airdeck® generates substantial economic, material
and environmental savings for all parties involved in the building process
whilst offering greater architectural freedom and optimal building
design. Even after completion, smart building structures offer a lower total
cost of ownership including low to zero energy bills.
