Chilled Beams combine radiant cooling systems with conventional overhead ventilation to reduce energy usage, improve comfort levels, and reduce the architectural impact of ductwork and other mechanical systems. These systems are seen throughout Europe but are rarely considered in the United States, primarily due to engineer’s unfamiliarity with these systems. "Chilled beams" have been used with success on several pharmaceutical projects in the USA.
