Chilled beams in naturally ventilated buildings.

Author(s) : ARNOLD D.

Summary

Points to a growth of interest in the use of passive cooling in buildings, particularly in the use of chilled ceilings, including both beams and radiant panels. Reports on practical experience gained from the design, installation, commissioning and "running in" of four installations completed in the early summer of 1995 in different buildings. Describes some of the problems encountered during the running period and how they were solved. Concludes that year-round comfort can be provided without the capital, energy and maintenance costs of full air conditioning.
