The Science of ComfortTM
The HVAC industry’s evolving demand for energy-efficient systems has created opportunities for the development of new solutions and the innovation of existing designs. This includes the Horizontal Low-Profile Fan Coil (FCH): the modern-day fan coil for enhancing individual zone control and thermal comfort.

When it comes to selecting air inlets and outlets, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) rooms need special consideration due to the unique equipment found in the room. MRI rooms, often referred to as magnet rooms, contain MRI machines that use powerful magnets to produce pictures of anatomy and physiological processes of the body. These magnets create a magnetic field, which makes the material choice of air inlets and outlets a key factor in the design of the air distribution system.

For years, studies have linked healthy environments in schools with improved educational outcomes for students. We’ve seen that indoor air quality has a major impact on health, performance and attendance and that quiet classrooms improve academic performance, reduce stress and encourage better behavior.

For applications in climates that require a significant amount of heating, owners, engineers and contractors often wonder if chilled beams are an appropriate choice for their projects. Since the “chilled” part of the chilled beam name only specifies cooling, can you also produce heat with a chilled beam?

Sound-power and sound-pressure levels are used to catalog acoustical performance for terminal units. The sound performance of a terminal unit is crucial when considering the comfort of occupants within a space. For example, some places have an open-ceiling design and are well suited to quiet units to minimize distracting noises.
