Taking Flexibility with Chilled Beams to the Next Level

In a building’s life cycle, the interior infrastructure may undergo multiple renovations or tenant improvements (TI). A TI project will typically involve adding, moving, or removing walls, furniture,
occupants, electrical wiring, and even the HVAC air distribution system in some instances. TI projects for the air distribution system can cost up to $30/ft², which brings forth the challenge of ensuring flexibility in the HVAC design to minimize future TI or renovation costs.

Understanding the Fundamentals

High-efficiency particle air filters, or HEPA filters, are used for air filtration where room particulate control is of the utmost importance, including in cleanrooms, laboratories, pharmaceutical compounding facilities, protective environment isolation rooms and airborne infectious isolation rooms.

Removal of Particulate in Supply Air

Air filters are an essential part of any HVAC system to remove particulates in the supply air that would otherwise be harmful to the building occupants, or build up in the ductwork or equipment. They are also an essential part of air moving devices such as terminal units, fan coils and air handlers as they remove dirt that would otherwise cause coil blockages and fan wheel imbalances.
