Summary

Although low dew-point primary air temperatures are often associated with chilled beam systems, they are often not a necessity. An alternative is to relax space design humidity levels, which may offer savings in fan and chiller energy, as well as reducing the required number of beams. The design consultant is urged to weigh the cost/benefit of the various solutions on a project-by-project basis, understanding the humidity relationships between air-water systems and space latent control.
