Energy-efficient HVAC using chilled water rather than circulated air.
Common in EU Class A. Reduces ductwork (good for floor-to-floor heights) and uses less fan energy. Less common in US due to humidity-control limitations.
Chilled beam is part of the mep vocabulary that institutional Class A occupiers, landlords, and advisers use across EU markets. Understanding it correctly affects how you read lease documents, model occupancy economics, and benchmark deal terms across cities. Class A Atlas tracks the EU definition alongside the global standard so cross-border occupiers can translate quickly.
