“Our first Waltham building using chilled beams was opened in 2000 Wh l d f ilit i 2003 i t ith2000. When we enlarged our facility in 2003, we again went with chilled beams. Our new buildings under construction will also be using chilled beam technology”.

“The beams at our facility have not required any maintenance or cleaning. The facility does not have rugs, and the chilled beams are supplied by the same air handlers that serve laboratories.”

“The three principal advantages that I see for chilled beams over a VAV system are (i) the level of quiet operations, (ii) the energy efficiency, and (iii) the virtual freedom from maintenance.”
