Enable more efficient buildings with less mechanical infrastructure

Turn your building’s concrete structure into a rechargeable thermal battery - storing thermal energy at night and releasing it during the day to shift demand off-peak, reduce mechanical system size, and deliver stable, resilient radiant comfort. Proven in high-performance institutional and commercial buildings across North America for over 18 years.

9–15% reduction in mechanical capital cost (project dependent)
Up to 75% reduction in daytime HVAC energy demand
Stable, resilient radiant comfort from thermal mass
18+ years of operational performance

Analyze a ProjectSee How It Works

Most high-performance buildings require additional mechanical systems. Termobuild achieves the same outcomes by activating the concrete structure already part of the building.

Universities  •  K-12  •  Healthcare  •  Civic Buildings  •  Commercial  •  Residential

Activate what’s already been paid for.

Every building already contains thousands of tons of thermal mass. Termobuild activates that mass to store and release heating and cooling energy - reducing capital cost and peak demand.

Watch: How Buildings Store Energy in Their Concrete Floors:

Charge the Structure

Off-peak air conditions the concrete slab.

Store Thermal Energy

The structure becomes a massive thermal battery.

Release Stored Energy

Concrete floors release stored thermal energy during the day, stabilizing indoor temperatures and reducing peak HVAC demand.

Termobuild works with owners, architects, and engineers early in the design process to evaluate whether structural thermal energy storage can improve capital efficiency and building performance.

We help teams increase project profit and NOI, accelerate construction timelines, and deliver smarter, healthier spaces - through simpler HVAC systems and lower total cost.

Why Activate the Concrete

Through integrated HVAC and rechargeable floor design, we activate concrete floors and ceilings as thermal energy storage systems – delivering:

  • 9-15% lower up-front capital costs

  • Up to 75% lower daytime HVAC energy demand

  • Long-term operating savings

  • Performance backed by a global insurance guarantee

Results based on modeled and operational performance from Termobuild projects across multiple building types and climates.

What This Means

No unconventional equipment
No risky specifications
No added system complexity

Proven integration. Lower risk. Better outcomes.

The Result

Radiant heating and cooling with measurable performance and operational savings that compound for decades.

Proven Performance

• Canada’s two most efficient schools
• 678,000 sq ft net-positive development in South Carolina
• 18+ years operational performance

Why Buildings Must Store Energy

  • Electrification is increasing peak loads
  • Utilities are increasingly constrained
  • Mechanical infrastructure costs continue rising
  • Traditional HVAC designs increase peak demand
  • Structural thermal storage reduces peak loads and simplifies systems
With over 18 years of experience in education, healthcare, commercial, residential, and civic buildings. Termobuild delivers energy-shifting solutions that improve performance without inflating budgets.

OUR PROCESS

A straightforward way to partner with us and elevate your building project outcomes.
  • Project Evaluation

    The first step is a review of your new building design or retrofit project. We start with mechanical design brief and architectural plans - to determine if our integration is a strong fit.

  • Cost-Benefit Analysis

    Next, we conduct a cost and performance analysis so your team can evaluate the financial and operational impact before designs are finalized.

  • Mechanical Strategy

    Finally, our engineering team works closely with your project team from planning through construction to seamlessly integrate the system into your architectural design and mechanical strategy.

Backed by a globally insured guarantee

High-performance buildings don’t require radical redesign. Termobuild’s approach leverages proven, everyday building systems, seamlessly integrated into your architectural design and preferred mechanical systems- delivering measurable performance without added risk.
