The built environment accounts for 40% of global energy usage, and the demand for energy-efficient solutions for those environments is at its all-time high. That’s why in November 2023 we launched the first energy-saving ceiling tile in the AWI portfolio: ULTIMA Templok ceiling panels.
These new panels feature phase change material (PCM) that is specially designed to regulate indoor temperature. As temperatures fluctuate, the PCM resists the change
by absorbing or releasing energy to ensure comfort at a fraction of the energy use. This can result in a reduction of operational carbon related to heating and cooling.

Driving Carbon Reduction
With the potential to save up to 15% on energy costs, ULTIMA Templok helps cut heating and cooling expenses, ultimately reducing the building’s carbon footprint. By lowering energy consumption, these panels play an important role in combatting climate change while also improving indoor comfort to create a better experience for the people inside
The Power of a Dedicated Team
The creation of ULTIMA Templok is a testament to the collaborative efforts of Armstrong’s diverse teams. Engineers, business development specialists, researchers, product marketers and experts from nearly every field across our organization joined forces to bring this innovative solution to life. The team embraced a “moonshot” mentality, driving forward with determination and innovation to successfully launch ULTIMA Templok.
Opening Doors to Further Innovations
Our investment in PCM technology is a significant step forward, laying the groundwork for a range of energy-saving ceiling products that we hope will spark more replacement and renovation projects across our markets. Plus, with the potential for substantial financial and operational carbon savings opportunities, ULTIMA Templok can help make the decision to switch easier. As we continue pursuing innovative decarbonization solutions, we’re helping lead the way toward a more energy-efficient future.
