Architectural Perspective of Chilled Beams in Healthcare
October 2015 – A variety of chilled beam solutions are available for many different healthcare applications. Chilled beams in healthcare can reduce system horsepower by up to 40 percent, with minimum air changes satisfied through induction. This webinar discusses the market acceptance of chilled beams in healthcare, classifies common design considerations for appropriate spaces, and reviews real-life application of chilled beams through our case studies.

Chilled Beams Come of Age
April 2015 | PTP 7022: One alternative technology to an all-air system that is gaining traction is the active chilled beam. The active chilled beam incorporates the distribution of ventilation air and uses room air induced across a water coil to transfer sensible thermal energy for both heating and cooling to the occupied space. This webinar discusses the market place acceptance of chilled beams, common questions and concerns as well as, presents several case studies.

Chilled Beams in Healthcare
April 2022 | PTP 7124
This presentation will discuss how chilled beam systems can reduce operating costs, save on first costs, and be combined with other ceiling utilities such as lighting to reduce congestion in the ceiling grid.
|
Chilled Beam Systems and Control Strategies
August 2021 | PTP 7800: The real design begins AFTER the HVAC system type is decided. This webinar will explore the many scenarios that can arise once a Chilled Beam project reaches the design phase. Discussion topics will include controls strategies, piping layout pros and cons, airflow strategies and more.

A Fresh Approach to Conditioning Schools
November 2018 | PTP 6011: Whether it is an update to an existing building or constructing a new school, officials face a variety of challenges. They can include first costs, occupant safety, and comfort along with long-term energy costs. This webinar will assist in maximizing these investments while helping the schools run efficiently.
|
Beams Commissioning from the Lab to the Job Site
November 2017 | PTP 7026: This presentation will discuss how ASHRAE Standard 200 guides lab measurements to develop the Active Beam airflow pressure curves and how it is utilized in the TABs process in the field.
|
Optimizing Active and Passive Beams
October 2016 | PTP 7008: This webinar covers the design variables of a chilled beam system and how best to tune design parameters in order to achieve an efficient chilled beam system.
|
Selecting Air Distribution in Tall and Wide Spaces
June 2016 | PTP 1008: Selecting air distribution in tall and wide spaces can be challenging due to several factors including the thermal load and the interior aesthetic. This presentation will discuss how to properly select the air distribution device type and location.
|
The Impact of Hybrid Ventilation Systems on Energy Consumption
August 2015 | PTP 8002: This presentation discusses the opportunities and options to consider when selecting hybrid air distribution. The webinar provides examples of a variety of air delivery and cooling system options that satisfy aesthetic constraints without compromising energy efficiency. Explains how HVAC fits into the 14 patterns of Biophilic Design.
