The Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) praised ASHRAE’s approval of Addendum d to ASHRAE Standard 62.1, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality, which states that systems including chilled beams are not required to use a filter.
The market will be driven by an increase in demand for energy saving in buildings and enhanced thermal comfort for occupants, in addition to the increasing benefits of chilled beam systems, such as low noise levels, floor-to-floor space savings, and good IAQ in various applications.
The global chilled beam system market, valued at $218.1 million in 2014, is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.14 percent between 2015 and 2020, reaching $406.8 million by 2020, according to a new market research report published by MarketsandMarkets.
ASHRAE and the Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning Associations (REHVA) have published guidance on designing chilled beam systems. The Active and Passive Beam Application Design Guide is a collaboration developed to give system designers a current, authoritative guide.
The Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) has announced a new certification program for active chilled beams. AHRI said the Active Chilled Beams (ACB) program is its 44th performance certification program for the HVACR and water heating industry.
Health care non-critical environments, such as waiting and examination rooms, require adequate ventilation to provide a comfortable environment, while also reducing the probability that infection will spread between occupants.
