• Armstrong World Industries detailed a drop-in retrofit at Arizona Elementary School in Coolidge, Arizona, using Templok ceiling tiles with phase-change material.
• The installation targets large day-night temperature swings that drive peak cooling demand in desert-climate classrooms under uninsulated roof areas.
• Performance data cited peak heat absorption of about 7 BTUs per hour per square foot around noon, reducing HVAC peak load.
• The tiles integrate into existing ceiling grids without ductwork or control changes, positioning the product as a low-disruption energy-saving upgrade.
