German term or phrase: TWS und HKA Systeme
"Alternativen zu Heizkörpern und UFH werden noch wenig forciert (z.B. TWS und HKA Systeme)." Occurs in an internal survey of employees of a large building services group in Europe.

UFH I believe is just the English acronym for underfloor heating, but TWS and HKA are a mystery. These systems are said to be alternatives to radiators and underfloor heating. I'm reluctant to carry over the acronyms without understanding their meanings first.

TYIA!
