The Science of ComfortTM
United States Pharmacopeia (USP) is a nonprofit organization that was founded in the 1820s by a group of physicians and is enforced by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). USP sets standards for the identity, strength, quality and purity of medicines.

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.

Terminal units influence a building occupant’s experience through heating, cooling and acoustics. Price offers attenuators and silencers as two different methods to reduce a terminal unit’s operating sound level. An attenuator reduces sound levels by utilizing a section of duct lined with acoustical media whereas a silencer utilizes both baffling and acoustical media to break sound waves and reduce the sound level leaving the unit. Although attenuators may suit a project depending on its acoustical requirements and pricing, silencers offer optimal sound reduction.
