Summary

In a modern office environment, balance is sought between working as individuals and the interaction between employees. For a room system, adaptability means taking changes in the supply air flow, cooling and heating effects and throw pattern of the supply air device into consideration. Chilled beams systems are quite common in temperate climate. With the chilled beams systems, it is possible to reach good indoor air quality in an energy efficient manner. Still, the applications of chilled beam systems in hot and humid climates have been limited. A case-study measurement was conducted to investigate the feasibility of a ventilated chilled beam system in hot and humid climates. Based on the measurements, the condensation in the beam system is possible to prevent and to maintain dry cooling if infiltration is minimized, supply airflow rate is sufficient to extract humidity.
