The Science of ComfortTM
What if you could move through a fully functioning operating room and explore how it goes above and beyond current air distribution minimums without ever stepping foot in a hospital?
Now you can.

When it comes to maintaining occupant comfort in buildings with many individual rooms – such as hotels, healthcare buildings, dormitories and office spaces – horizontal fan coil units are behind-the-scenes heroes. They deliver individualized temperature control while staying out of sight and out of mind. Compact and quiet, these units are usually installed above ceilings, making them ideal for spaces where floor area is limited but where comfort can’t be compromised.

In February 2023, the new 40-gate terminal at Kansas City International Airport opened for commercial air service – a little more than 50 years after the original three-terminal airport began serving the area surrounding Kansas City, MO. At just over 1 million sq. ft. and with a budget of $1.5 billion, the new terminal is the largest single infrastructure project in the city’s history.

Fan trench heaters are specialized heating devices that are embedded within a trench in the floor or mounted in a low-profile enclosure at floor level, typically along the perimeter of a room or under windows. This type of heater combines a heating element, such as a multipass water coil or electric resistance heater, with a fan to enhance air circulation and heat distribution.

In the quest for more efficient and adaptable building designs, underfloor air distribution (UFAD) systems have emerged as a promising alternative to traditional overhead (OH) HVAC systems. Two comprehensive studies – one by the Center for the Built Environment (CBE) at UC Berkeley and another by Global IFS and Dynamic Systems Inc. – provide valuable insights into how UFAD systems can save on first costs while offering a variety of operational benefits.
