Abstract
Abstract System for tempering spaces of a building with ceiling or wall constructions of metal or nonmetallic parts which are fastened to the supporting or nonsupporting wall or ceiling of spaces, in which by a heat transport medium conducted through the ceiling or wall construction the parts of the construction facing the interior space of the building are tempered. On at least one pipeline (1) conducting the heat transport medium there are arranged several heat transfer profiles (2), heating conducting, preferably with clamping effect, metallically conducting or in one piece, the effective radiation and convection surface of which is greater than the wall or ceiling surface covered by the system.
