Abstract

Provides designers with information during the design process of HVAC systems on the use of chilled ceilings and beams. Different principles and products of chilled ceilings and beams are described, analysed and compared in detail and presented in tables, so as to obtain a quick overview of relevant issues. The design process is described, and information about international standards, regulations and test methods related to thermal comfort is given. Specific problems in building design, contracting, construction and commissioning are discussed and supported with check lists, and attention is also given to the system in use.
