Product catalog summary
Introduction
Carrier's ActivAIR™ Induction Beams are designed to provide efficient and sustainable comfort solutions for modern buildings. This technology is rooted in innovations by Willis Carrier and has been refined to meet contemporary needs.

Historical Context and Innovation
Carrier has a long history of innovation in air-conditioning, dating back to 1902. The induction beam technology, originally developed in the 1930s, has been updated to enhance efficiency and sustainability, aligning with Carrier's commitment to environmental leadership.

Environmental Commitment
Carrier emphasizes sustainable practices across its operations and products, aiming to reduce energy consumption and improve environmental quality. The company is recognized as a U.S. Green Building Council Education Provider, offering courses that support LEED accreditation.

Product Features and Benefits
The ActivAIR™ induction beam offers high occupant satisfaction with minimal installation and maintenance costs. It is suitable for various building types, providing quiet, draft-free air delivery. The system uses smaller air handling units, reducing duct sizes and initial costs. It also contributes to LEED credits in Energy & Atmosphere and Indoor Environmental Quality categories.

Performance and Efficiency
ActivAIR™ provides both sensible and latent cooling, allowing for fewer units to condition spaces. The system's coils are certified by AHRI, and its performance is verified by ETL Intertek. The unique air distribution design ensures uniform temperature and comfort without stratification.

Integrated Drain Pan
The integrated drain pan addresses dynamic building loads and prevents condensation, allowing for the use of chilled water below the room's dewpoint. This increases cooling capacity and reduces piping and pump sizes.

Operational Overview
The system operates by drawing room air into the induction beam, mixing it with primary air, and distributing it evenly into the space. This process is facilitated by a simple thermostat connected to the coil valves, requiring no additional controls.

Conclusion
Carrier's ActivAIR™ Induction Beams offer a modern solution for engineered comfort, combining historical innovation with contemporary efficiency and sustainability.

Classic Design Made Flexible for Today's Architecture Engineered Comfort for Today’s Buildings A Tradition of Innovation: “What’s Old is New Again” Ever since Willis Carrier designed the first modern air-conditioning system in 1902, Carrier has led the world in the discovery of innovative ways to provide occupant comfort using sustainable technologies that emphasize efficiency and environmental integrity. The induction beam of today is based on technology invented by Willis Carrier himself in the 1930s and refined by today’s pioneers to meet the needs of the high performance building of the future. Efficient, cost-saving induction beams forward Dr. Carrier’s original principles of utility, occupant comfort and resource accountability, transforming a treasured inheritance into a sustainable future. A Legacy of Training Willis H. Carrier began training members of the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration industry in 1905. Carrier continues to promote technical expertise in the industry with the expansion of its sustainable solutions curriculum and has recently been named a U.S. Green Building Council Education Provider (USGBC EP). The Future of the World Depends on Our Ability… to Sustain it To earn this status, Carrier’s course materials were reviewed by a panel of USGBC peers and deemed to provide the high level of quality required for training Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) professionals. The courses and workshops supporting LEEDAccredited Professional and Green Associate credential maintenance are administered through Carrier University. As the world’s leader in high technology heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration solutions, we believe that market leadership requires environmental leadership. Carrier sets industry standards for environmentally sound business practices and a commitment to sustainability across its products, services and operations.
