They deliver individualized temperature control while staying out of sight and out of mind. Compact and quiet, these units are usually installed above ceilings, making them ideal for spaces where floor area is limited but where comfort can’t be compromised.

Since we tend to associate heating or cooling with a change in temperature, confusion can arise when multiple forms of heating are mentioned. In this post, we’re going to clarify the difference between sensible and latent heating and why the distinction is important in HVAC systems.

This energy-efficient technology uses the heat transfer capabilities of air and water to provide heating and cooling in a space. But the concept of installing a water coil within the housing of the chilled beam raises some very important questions: will there be condensation, and are drain pans required?
