Luxalon
CCA Acoustic+®

The Luxalon® CCA Acoustic+ ceilingsystem from Hunter Douglas
greatly impro­ves acoustic performance and comfort by applying
concrete core activation. Based onthe Luxalon® 30BD ceiling system,
CCA Acoustic+ has been extensively
tested and installed in a wide rangeof project applications.

	Acoustic comfort in harmony withConcrete core activation

The CCA solution
Concrete core activation (CCA) is enjoying increasing interest among architects, project developers and clientsfor office and public building application. CCA combines excellent thermal comfort with a considerable saving
in energy use.

Project: DSM Ahead, Geleen, the Netherlands - Product: linear 30BD/30BXD + CCA - Architect: Broekbakema, Rotterdam

CCA reaches maximum efficiency when there is no impediment between the concrete structure and theunderlying spaces, but results in poor acoustics. Traditional ceilings systems like baffle and ceiling islands offer
an acoustic solution, however complete ceiling coverage is not possible. At the location of a ceiling island, thethermal exchange is greatly impeded creating uncomfortable differences in temperature. The Luxalon® CCA
Acoustic+ system from Hunter Douglas provides complete ceiling coverage with concrete core activation thatdelivers optimal acoustic comfort for users. The panel aesthetic creates a smooth, unobtrusive ceiling that canblend with the interior design.

Thermal activation
Independent climate chamber tests have shown that thealuminium used for Luxalon® CCA Acoustic+ panels andcarriers is highly suited for thermal cooling and heating
as it functions as a thermal conductor. In combination
with the relative openness of this ceiling system (40%openness with complete ceiling coverage), very positive
results can be obtained.

Acoustics
Our extensive experience in acoustic applications withLuxalon® ceiling systems has enabled Hunter Douglas
to design an optimised CCA solution.

Luxalon® CCA Acoustic+ ceiling panels are finished withspecial fine perforation in combination with acoustic
nonwoven fabric and a high-grade sound absorbing
filling. This result is an absorption performance with a:
NRC of 0.65 for an acoustically comfortable working
environment.

Complete coverage
The excellent thermal exchange and acoustic
performance of Luxalon® CCA Acoustic+ enables
100% acoustical ceiling coverage, creating outstanding
acoustic comfort and temperature control at levels thatcannot be achieved with island or baffle systems.

Construction details
The Luxalon® Acoustic+ panels based on30BD, are clicked into a universal carrier, whichenables easy integration with other Luxalon®
panels with different heights and widths.
Integrated lighting can be easily applied withthis solution.

Thermal capacity
Thermal capacity (%)

With a ceiling coverage of 60%, the reductionin thermal capacity is only 11%. Complete
ceiling coverage (effective coverage of 60%
because of the openness of the ceiling) results
in a thermal capacity reduction of 28% whencompared to a bare CCA ceiling.

30BXD Project solution
For CCA projects where the effective openness
needs to be enlarged and the acoustic comfort
must be maintained, 30BXD panels provide
the ideal ceiling solution. Through the extra
height (64 mm) and the 1.5 mm perforation, thepanels create a larger sound absorbing surface,
so that the open joint between the panels canbe enlarged. This results in even better thermal
exchange and acoustic comfort.
