Innovative Underfloor Air Conditioning Solutions
AET Flexible Space has been pioneering underfloor air conditioning systems since 1993, delivering sustainable, modular, and energy-efficient climate control solutions for modern workspaces. Our innovative Flexible Space System utilises raised floor voids to provide adaptable comfort through patented CAM units, Fantile terminals, and intelligent controls. With a global presence spanning landmark projects in London, Hong Kong, and Shanghai, we combine three decades of technical expertise with a commitment to sustainability.Our end-to-end services encompass design, manufacturing, installation, and maintenance, supported by a state-of-the-art Italian production facility. We collaborate closely with architects and developers to create future-ready environments that balance occupant comfort with environmental responsibility, evidenced by our role in BREEAM Excellent-rated developments. Our team's technical proficiency and client-centric approach have established long-term partnerships across commercial, heritage, and retrofit projects.

Underfloor Air Conditioning
Our underfloor air conditioning systems utilise raised floor voids to deliver conditioned air through discreet Fantile units. This approach enables flexible workspace configurations while maintaining optimal thermal comfort. The system's modular design supports both new builds and retrofit projects, offering energy-efficient climate control with minimal architectural intrusion.
CAM Units
CAM units provide high-performance climate control through refrigerant or water coils with EC fan technology. Available in downflow and upflow configurations, these acoustically lined modules offer quiet operation and energy efficiency. They integrate seamlessly with building management systems for centralised control and monitoring.
Fantile Terminals
Fantile units deliver localised air distribution through floor-recessed terminals with adjustable airflow. Featuring EC fans and motorised dampers, these relocatable units provide individual climate control while maintaining acoustic comfort. Different models accommodate varying floor void depths from 160mm to 270mm.
HVAC Retrofit Solutions
Our retrofit solutions adapt existing buildings with modern underfloor HVAC systems. The CAMC configuration separates supply and return air plenums, making it ideal for space-constrained environments. This approach preserves structural integrity while improving energy efficiency and indoor air quality in heritage and commercial properties.
Climate Control Systems
We provide comprehensive climate control systems with integrated control interfaces. From individual Fatronic controllers to central FlexMatic Touch panels, our solutions offer zoned temperature management with CO monitoring. Systems support Modbus/BACnet protocols for building-wide energy optimisation.
Questions
What makes underfloor air conditioning different from traditional systems?
Our system uses the floor void as an air plenum, eliminating ceiling ductwork. This allows greater architectural flexibility, easier reconfiguration, and improved thermal stratification through low-level supply and high-level extraction.
How do your systems support sustainability goals?
Our modular design reduces material waste during reconfiguration. The systems improve energy efficiency through EC fan technology and support BREEAM/NABERS certifications by enabling decentralised ventilation and rooftop space optimisation.
Can your systems work in heritage buildings?
Yes. The TUC Fantile model operates without raised floors, accommodating shallow voids of 160mm. This makes our technology suitable for heritage buildings where structural modifications are restricted.
What control options are available?
We offer three control tiers: local Fatronic controllers for individual units, FlexTouch wall panels for zoned control in cellular offices, and FlexMatic Touch panels for centralised building management system integration.
How do you handle complex project requirements?
Our team collaborates from concept design through to handover, providing technical expertise for challenging projects. Recent examples include Grade II listed building refurbishments and high-specification commercial developments with 3.4m+ floor-to-ceiling heights.
