Meeting developing building standards, codes and assuming best practices to support high-performance buildings, will require architects and engineers to collaborate holistically.
Meeting developing code requirements to reduce carbon emissions while creating environments with better IAQ will challenge and impact conventional building HVAC system designs.
Passive radiant heating and cooling system designs exploit the properties of all heat transfer modalities for enhanced system efficiency and healthier built environments.

Increasing the amount of outside air to the occupied space and increasing ventilation air change rates are effective solutions for reducing concentrations of contaminants and the risk of infection.

Engineers must design a space that responds to the needs and requirements of the building but also promotes an environment that is conducive to healing and well-being.
In our previous article, “Debunking Myths of Active Chilled Beams: What You Thought You Knew – But Were Wrong, Part 1,” engineers from SmithGroup and Dadanco, along with senior sales engineers from Varitec
How long does it take for condensation to form on an active chilled beam? A group of engineers at SmithGroup used testing and analysis to answer that question and more.
Chilled beams offer building owners greater energy efficiency, reduced building first cost, reduced day-two maintenance, and improved indoor air quality.
