Product Overview
Acknowledged as one of the Top 10 Green Building Products for 2018 by Building Green, 3fficiency has been receiving industry recognition for providing an energy-efficient, easy-to-specify integrated system. 3fficiency improves upon a traditional chilled beam design by reducing piping and simplifying building controls. 3fficiency is the HVAC industry’s first total indoor air quality (IAQ) system approach to chilled beam design.
The three components included in the system package are:
- Pinnacle® Dedicated Outside Air System (DOAS)
- NEUTON™ Chilled Beam Pump Module
- FläktGroup® SEMCO® Active Chilled Beam line
Synergy of all key components ensures that the proper ventilation, cooling/heating capacity, and internal latent load are all provided, resulting in an effective active chilled beam project. NEUTON simplifies installation, controls, and beam system commissioning while eliminating frustration and cost of customized controls development. Sourcing active chilled beams and the DOAS from the same manufacturer is integral for synergy and single-source responsibility.
Key Features and Benefits
- Up to 18 LEED credits
- Energy efficient
- Easy to design: Pinnacle® manages 100% of a building’s ventilation and indoor humidity load in a single package.
- Low maintenance: FläktGroup SEMCO chilled beams have no filters or drain pans, meaning less maintenance.
- Superior comfort: Pinnacle primary air supplies 100 CFM, 44 grain dry air to each beam.
- Low first cost: NEUTON pump module serves the beams with conventional chilled/hot water temperatures; no more need for centralized secondary loops for chilled beams.
