Building Suitability
Building Characteristics that favor Active Chilled Beams
Zones with moderate#high sensible load densities
Where primary airflows would be significantly higher than needed for
ventilation
Sensible Heat Ratios (SHR) of 0.8 and above
Building Suitability
Characteristics that less favor Active Chilled Beams
