Capillary heating/cooling systems have been intensively publicised as the most energy-efficient systems, and the results have not been long in coming: many designers of the most important European projects (the parliament building in Berlin, the headquarters of various banks, the headquarters of large multinational companies, hospitals and many residential houses, villas, hotels, etc.) have chosen capillary heating and cooling systems.

In the midst of a global energy crisis, installation research is investing huge sums in finding cheap and efficient solutions that require minimal energy consumption, have high efficiency and meet the highest comfort requirements for both heating and cooling.

Heating and cooling by means of capillary systems is a completely new approach to thermal comfort in residential buildings, social and cultural buildings and/or industrial applications. In the third millennium, building design is focused on the choice of thermal comfort solutions using renewable energy resources, generally heat pumps. In this way, the energy available in nature is transferred to the heating and cooling systems, ensuring maximum comfort at minimum monthly costs.

Capillary systems are also compatible with renewable energy sources. Any type of heat pump or any type of heating plant, running on any type of fuel (i.e. any primary heat supply system) can be connected to capillary heating/cooling systems, with the highest efficiency of any heating/cooling system currently available globally.

In Romania, there are more than sixty buildings operating with capillary heating and cooling systems.

As a rule, the investment costs with capillary systems are not substantially higher than for conventional air conditioning systems. If the capillary system can also be used for ceiling heating, for example in well-insulated office buildings, the investment costs are even more favourable.

In the case of cooling, consumption and operating costs are up to 40% lower compared to conventional air conditioning units. A key factor is the cost of transporting energy for cooling by air (expensive) or water (very economical). Capillary systems have almost no maintenance costs and have only 1/5 to 1/7 of the pressure loss compared to conventional systems.

Compared to other cooling ceilings, which are based on metal cooling elements, capillary systems offer considerable cost advantages, as the user does not experience operating losses.
