Using Natural Convection to Provide Energy-Efficient Comfort
Chilled beam technology is often separated into two categories: active and passive. As we explored in a previous blog post, active chilled beams take in primary air from an air handler, which is then pressurized and released through a series of nozzles. Passive chilled beams, however, do not have any supply air ducted to them and operate utilizing natural convection. This energy-efficient cooling device is often coupled with other air systems such as underfloor air, displacement ventilation and active chilled beams.

Precise and Accurate Airflow Control
Venturi valves are devices designed to control airflow for room pressurization and fume hood air containment. They are most often used in spaces that require precise and accurate airflow control, protecting occupants from hazardous airborne gases and particles through proper ventilation.

Unlimited Options for Your Design
In this blog series, we’re discussing how to achieve excellent indoor air quality without sacrificing the aesthetics of a space. Part one of the series looked at how long, continuous lengths of linear slot diffusers can integrate overhead mixed air distribution into highly architectural spaces, and part two dug deeper into the border style options available to achieve the desired appearance for a wide variety of applications.
