Summary

Active chilled beams have been used in Europe since the mid-1990s but only recently have become a popular alternative to all-air HVAC systems for nonresidential buildings in North America. Although active chilled beams are an in-room space conditioning device, they are also the room air diffusion device, so sizing and locating the beams is vital to providing acceptable levels of occupant thermal comfort as established by ASHRAE's thermal comfort standard (55-2004).
