The heating sector has undergone major changes in recent years, with innovations focused on energy performance and thermal comfort. Among these advances, the Modular Radiant Ceiling (PRM) and the Active Ceiling stand out as innovative solutions, offering significant advantages for both residential and professional spaces.
In this article, we’ll explore these technologies and understand how they’re redefining radiant heating standards.
Introducing the Active Ceiling: dual functionality for year-round thermal comfort
The Active Ceiling is an integrated heating and cooling solution for managing thermal comfort in a space, whatever the season. This system works by diffusing heat in winter and coolness in summer, thanks to panels installed in the ceiling. It combines the advantages of radiant heating with the ability to cool a room naturally, without using energy-hungry air-conditioning systems.
The Active Ceiling is particularly suited to environments where temperature control is crucial, such as offices or mixed-use buildings. By offering precise temperature control all year round, it optimizes both comfort and energy consumption.
Modular Radiant Ceiling (PRM): performance and flexibility
The Modular Radiant Ceiling (PRM) is an infrared radiant heating system distinguished by its ability to heat evenly and discreetly. PRM panels are installed directly in the ceiling, diffusing heat gently and evenly. This system is particularly effective in large spaces, where it maintains a pleasant temperature without overheating certain areas.
One of the main advantages of PRM is its modularity. Panels can be flexibly installed according to the specific needs of each room, enabling distinct heating zones to be created. This adaptability is ideal for offices or commercial buildings, where different spaces may require different levels of heating.
Innovations in energy efficiency and comfort
Active Ceiling and PRM systems represent major advances inenergy efficiency. By heating surfaces and objects directly, rather than the ambient air, these technologies reduce heat loss and deliver substantial savings on energy bills. What’s more, by integrating intelligent thermostats, it is possible to precisely regulate the temperature of each zone, optimizing energy consumption according to space occupancy.
These innovations are not limited to energy performance alone. Thermal comfort is also enhanced by the even distribution of heat. Whether in a residence or a professional space, these systems help maintain a constant temperature, without sudden variations or draughts.

The long-term benefits of these technologies
Investing in an Active Ceiling or MRP offers long-term benefits for building owners and managers. Not only do these systems reduce energy costs, they also contribute to the sustainability of buildings by limiting their environmental footprint. Thanks to their modular design and longevity, these systems require little maintenance and are designed to last for many years.
Finally, by adopting these technologies, businesses and residences are taking an eco-responsible approach, adopting heating and cooling solutions that comply with environmental standards while offering optimum thermal comfort.
