Heat Smart, Save Energy
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.

The Benefits of UFAD Systems That You Can Take to the Bank
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.

Determining the Right Amount of Airflow for a Space
At Price, we pride ourselves on being industry leaders in room air distribution. Our manufactured products are designed around a common goal: to keep the room air clean, dry and comfortable. This is often accomplished by blowing a jet of conditioned, fresh air through a grille, register or diffuser (GRD) throughout a room to properly ventilate it.

A Flexible, Localized Air Handling Solution
The fan column is a vertical fan unit designed to discharge air into a raised access floor plenum. The unit may be likened to an air handler as it mixes filtered, cooled return air with pre-treated outside air typically from a dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) to achieve the design supply air temperature, then discharge the mixed air into the raised access floor plenum.
