Using chilled beams to cool buildings

The idea of using a cooled beam system in modern buildings is a great way to consume less power and be more eco-friendly. The invention is rather new but one that is sure to become popular quite quickly. Waterloo’s technical manager Wander ter Kuile says that: Chilled beams operate with a chilled-water flow temperature of 14°C, which is inherently more energy-efficient than the 6°C that is typically used with fan-coil units. Indeed, such a high flow temperature might obviate the need for a chiller and certainly increases the viability of geothermal cooling, for example, where the temperature of the ground during a year may not rise above 12°C.’ It sure sounds like the way to go in power savings.
