Abstract

Ceiling apparatus for heating or cooling a space includes one or more spiral shaped coils mounted to individual thermally conductive ceiling tiles suspended above the space to be heated or cooled. The spiral shaped coils are interconnected by flexible hose connections so as to define one or more paths of a heat exchange fluid flowing through the coils so as to provide or remove heat from the ceiling tiles.
