2.2.13.1 Duct Systems

• Chilled beams are commonly used to chill and ventilate spaces, promoting a

comfortable interior climate and individual space control. Chilled beams use
water to remove heat from a room and are placed within the space.

• Chilled beams are typically employed where humidity may be controlled.
• Chilled beams allow for flexible use of space while providing high and low

temperature cooling and heating, maximizing free cooling and heating.
• Chilled beams are employed for moderate internal humidity loads, dehumidified

main air, and regulated infiltration throughout the building.

• All underground shopping spaces should have fully functional air conditioning,
installed in all floors at suitable locations after consulting with local fire

authorities.
