ASHRAE BC welcomes ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer, Daniel Hahne to our May meeting. Hydronic active chilled beam systems are becoming more widely accepted as an energy efficient mechanical option for medium to large scale buildings. Active chilled beam designs can save 30% or more energy compared to conventional medium pressure VAV Systems. By shifting a buildings sensible load to a more dense heat transfer medium local to each zone, HVAC system efficiency is increased. Building supply air flow rates are often designed close to ASHRAE Standard 62.1, resulting in fan energy cost reductions. And since these systems are 100% outside air and offer no return air path to a building, they are conducive to creating healthier built environments while

reducing the risk of infection.

Daniel Hahne is Director of High Performance Building Solutions at Varitec Solutions. Daniel started his career in 1985 for a representative organization. He has authored several articles. He is a Member of TC1.7P for ongoing commissioning, ASHRAE Std 200-2015. Bachelor degree in Fine Arts gives him a unique perspective in the HVAC mechanical Engineering realm.
