Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering
German term or phrase: Aktorkästen
Aktorkästen für Heizung im Boden, im gesamten Bereich.

This is a text on a construction plan for a building.
Ernst and Google teach me that Aktor = actuator, but this appears limited to the IT area.
How would you translate the term in the above context?
