The Science of ComfortTM
As the architecture and construction industries pivot toward energy efficiency and renewability, two innovations are reshaping how we think about building performance and occupant well-being: mass timber construction and underfloor air distribution (UFAD) systems. These technologies work in harmony to create environmentally responsible spaces that are both comfortable to be in and stunning to look at.

To help simplify the design process for engineers and architects, Price has invested in supporting the way these designers already work. Many engineers and architects are now designing using Autodesk Revit software.

Over the decades, the Price Technical Centers (PTCs) have been visited by tens of thousands of customers. In 2019, it was time to update Price Technical Center West (PTCW) in Casa Grande, AZ. We started our design work in 2019, taking inspiration from the product demonstrations and design aesthetics of Price Technical Center East (PTCE) in Suwanee, GA, and completed the renovation in early 2022.

The patent-pending Ceiling Air Purifier (CAP) by Price is the perfect combination of performance, aesthetics and efficiency. Simply replacing a 2-by-2-foot ceiling tile, the CAP is a stand-alone unit that can easily be integrated into a space – without any modifications to the existing HVAC system – and is independent of all building controls. Multiple diffuser faces are available to seamlessly fit in with the design intent of the surrounding area. The unit is discreetly contained above the ceiling for quiet operation at any of the three adjustable motor speeds.

Open-ceiling spaces are becoming increasingly popular, especially in the architectural industry. Aside from providing a feeling of spaciousness and a contemporary aesthetic, the absence of a ceiling grid or drywall also simplifies coordination and allows for more flexibility with ceiling fixtures. But can chilled beams be used in these open-ceiling spaces? As is the case with other air diffuser products, the answer is yes – but with one simple addition.
