AET Flexible Space, the world’s leading provider of underfloor air conditioning technology, has seen increased demand, both from existing clients looking to reconfigure their office space, and new clients looking for a flexible air conditioning which can help to future-proof their office. AET Managing Director, Glan Blake Thomas, comments, “The huge benefit of an underfloor air conditioning system is that they are inherently flexible, and can be changed to suit new room layouts within minutes. Our unique Fantile™ units are installed to sit in-line with the finished floor, and can be easily repositioned at any time without the need for the significant, and costly, building works usually involved in repositioning ceiling-based ductwork.” He continues, “I think we are seeing that


COVID-19 has accelerated the trend towards more flexible, future-proofed, and sustainable office space. We have been seeing an increase in demand for our underfloor systems for


some time, but the coronavirus lockdown has certainly made more people consider the end- users of this office space, and how they can be best served.” Underfloor air conditioning systems also


offer high levels of energy efficiency, sustainability, and air quality. As there is no ductwork, individual zones operate at very low-pressure encouraging energy efficiency. AET’s systems have helped attract LEED and BREEAM and other Green Building points, and can provide up to 30 per cent savings in energy costs and a 29 per cent reduction in CO2
