The Essentials of Airside Design With Active Chilled Beams
When it comes to designing an HVAC system, the moisture content of the air within a space is just as important as the supply air temperature. In a system with active chilled beams, the moisture content becomes a critical factor, so it is important to understand the concept of moisture depression.
