The Science of ComfortTM
As the architecture and construction industries pivot toward energy efficiency and renewability, two innovations are reshaping how we think about building performance and occupant well-being: mass timber construction and underfloor air distribution (UFAD) systems. These technologies work in harmony to create environmentally responsible spaces that are both comfortable to be in and stunning to look at.

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.

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.
