DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method to prepare for the installation of units using channels in dwellings, e.g. climate plants or alarm units to one or to several room units. The invention also relates to multiple channel means to perform said method. The technique according to the invention will also allow a subsequent and simple completion of units. "Channel using units" involve such units which themselves consist of, or include a channel, such as means for intake air, but also alarm systems or antenna systems which need a cable to be brought through channels to reach several rooms units are included.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The background of the invention can be seen from four different aspects.
Firstly the cost to build a modern dwelling is large, whereas all the possiblities regarding heating, air conditioning, ventilation, antenna systems and maybe installations for alarm or monitoring purposes are made from the very beginning. This is especially the case if all the possibilities shall exist for all the rooms.
Secondly, the building costs can to an essential part be found in lost time when different craftsmen/entrepeneurs shall be phased in into the building process.
Thirdly, it is presumed that an increased conciousness about the necessity to household with finite natural resources will lead to future buildings in the central Europe being built tighter and with a more efficient insulation. This in turn will increase the demands onto the ventilation systems. More simple and cheaper heating and comfort cooling systems and ventilation techniques are presumed to have a growing market. Effective and small scale heating systems using simple heat pump techniques with ground based low temperature stores and a recovering of the energy from waste air will soon be both economically and ecologically profitable alternatives.
Fourthly, such channel using units as monitoring and alarm systems, which can make a long and safe living for older people in a well known home environment possible, are examples of such techniques which sometime in the future can be expected to come to use in a dwelling. The advantage of having older people living in well-known surroundings is simply that daily routines work without too concious efforts. When changing in the surroundings occur, e. g. when moving from one's own dwelling to a home for the aged, it happens that the elder people will be completely dependent upon help also for the simplest daily routines. It is very difficult for elder people to learn new auto behaviour patterns. The neuron net structures in the brain for old and known behaviours which worked in the old home surroundings can not manage the change to new surroundings with new impressions. Also for these reasons it is an advantage to prepare dwellings for a subsequent simple installation or completion with one or several channel using units.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Thus the main object of the present invention is to make a direct or subsequent completing installation of channel using units possible in a simple way already when dwellings are built and at the same time decrease waste time in the building process.
This object will be obtained by the method according to the characterizing parts of the appended patent claims.
By arranging flexible channel means onto a supporting under-structure between a distributing central and the existing room units, which channel means are in an outer collecting casing, and which in itself contains; brine flow to and from radiators in the rooms, covers the multichannel means, depending upon need, economy and desire from the residents.
As this arrangement of channel means can take place in connection to the arrangement of conduits for the necessary heating system and as this occurs without any extra labour, the method according to the invention is both a more efficient way to build and gives possibilities to a future freedom of choice for the residents.
