Architects and Engineers No Longer Need to Choose Between Performance and Design

Air distribution is a necessary part of any well-designed indoor space. The HVAC system is used not only to provide heating and cooling in our buildings but also as a source of fresh, clean air. In the case of highly architectural spaces, how can air distribution be effectively integrated into the built environment without negatively impacting the overall appearance and feel of the architectural design?

An Energy-Efficient Solution for Small-Zone Control

A variable air volume (VAV) diffuser is essentially a ceiling diffuser with a built-in VAV damper and thermostat. Despite its simplicity, this device comes with many benefits and is an effective way to create small-zone comfort for building occupants.

Providing Terminal Units with Energy Efficiency and Control

Fan-powered terminal units use a motor and blower assembly to handle high levels of external static pressure, which enables the product to serve long duct runs and multiple air outlets. Using a motor within an assembly allows for smaller air handling units and gives the terminal unit the ability to tolerate variability in the heating and cooling requirements of exterior zones.
