When Roger Olsen of Arup designed Artus, he wanted to solve some of the biggest issues with comfort cooling systems: space claim, poor air distribution and energy inefficiency. He designed a hybrid system, taking the performance of a traditional fan coil unit and coupling it with the energy efficiency of a chilled beam.
Developed in partnership with Arup and manufactured by Airedale in the UK, Artus™ is an award winning packaged system that provides perfect, quiet, even heating and cooling, with best-in-class energy efficiencies and a compactness that could revolutionize the way buildings are designed.
Air conditioning units
This online CDP takes a look at existing ceiling air conditioning units and explains the benefits of switching to a compact, energy efficient unit. Learning objectives include:
- Energy Efficiency
- Contributing to BREEAM assessment points
- Terminal Unit options
- Maximizing Ceiling height
- Thermal Comfort
