Our diversity and flexibility have removed the constraints of designing around limited catalog selections, allowing architects and engineers the freedom to apply standard HVAC products in extraordinary ways. Our philosophy continues to be, “if you can draw it, we can build it.”
Grid Radiant Panels
Lay in grid panels provide cooling and heating within a suspended ceiling application. These panels are ideal for standard T-bar or tegular grid applications and can be easily integrated into new or existing grid systems. Utilization of larger panel sizes in these systems can reduce installation costs compared to convention systems.
Applications
Applications include healthcare facilities, universities, educational, K-12, museums, and laboratories.

- Widths up to 2.5’ & Lengths up to 10’
- Lay in T-Bar or tegular edges
- Smooth or perforated surface
- High NRC with sound absorption insulation
- 2 pipe with ½’’ connections
- Integration of functional elements – lighting, fire suppression, AV, and air outlets
- Continuous copper tube embedded in graphite sandwich
- Widths up to 2’ & Lengths up to 10’
- Lay in T-Bar or tegular edges
- Smooth or perforated surface
- High thermal outputs
- 2 or 4 pipe with ½’’ connections
- Integration of functional elements – lighting, fire suppression, AV, and air outlets
Chilled Sail
Chilled Sails provide a functional, decorative and exceptional alternative to conventional radiant panels. Sails provide both the radiant cooling effects of standard radiant panels with a convective component. In cooling mode, panels create natural convection by cooling the surrounding room air as it passes over the sail surface facing the plenum. As the air falls into the occupied zone, where warm air is then pulled over the sail, the convective cooling capacity of the sail is combined with the radiant cooling capacity of the cool sail surface, resulting in cooling capacity higher than that of standard radiant panels.
Applications
Applications include large open office concept/collaboration areas, conference rooms, lobbies, and classrooms.
Characteristics
- Widths up to 4’
- Lengths up to 12’
- ½’’ coil connections
- Gaps vary from ½’’ – 1’’
- Smooth or castellated surface
Cloud/Free Hanging Radiant Panels
Free hanging or cloud radiant panels can be easily integrated into the building architectural particularly in open ceiling spaces. These decorative panels provide high thermal outputs in cooling and heating modes along with exceptional sound absorption characteristics. Standard finished edge construction allows these panels to be installed in single panel configurations or multiple panel groupings.

Linear Radiant Panels
Linear radiant panels are ideal for applications where panels can be designed to handle the buildings perimeter heating and cooling loads. These lightweight, low profile panels are easily integrated in to new or refurbished buildings and can be installed in exposed T-Bar ceilings as well as flush mounted applications in drywall ceilings.
Applications
Applications include hospitals, universities, K-12, offices, municipal buildings and museums.
