Glan Blake Thomas

Glan Blake Thomas is a pioneer and champion of underfloor air conditioning technology, both in the UK and across the world. He founded Advanced Ergonomic Technologies, one of the first companies to engineer underfloor air conditioning systems for commercial buildings, and has developed it into the world-leader in underfloor air conditioning. AET’s key innovation, pioneered by Glan, is that it utilises the few inches of space beneath a raised access floor for the distribution of air, eliminating most ducting and pipework. Glan founded AET Ltd in 1993, incorporated in the UK, and has since established offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing, as well as distribution agents in several other countries. In 2010 AET established manufacturing facilities to continue production of the AET Flexible Space underfloor air conditioning (UFAC™) system. Glan has delivered papers on underfloor air conditioning technology and industry issues, such as intelligent building, sustainability and energy conservation, at numerous conferences and events across the world, including the CIBSE and ASHRAE conferences.
