Kempner Institute, Boston
The Kempner Institute for the Study of Natural & Artificial Intelligence at Harvard University recently completed an extensive renovation. The sixth floor in the Science and Engineering Complex featured the SAS International chilled ceiling to ensure an optimal learning environment for the students and faculty. The SAS170 chilled system adds both comfort and acoustics to the environment. The cooling coils, bracket-mounted above acoustic fleece, absorb the heat within the room for a natural feeling in the space. Since the SAS cooling system does not have any moving parts, the ceiling typically has a longer life span and is a low energy option.
By incorporating a single-piece copper element into the back of the ceiling tile and using water as the heat transfer medium, heat is absorbed and removed from the environment to keep the room at a comfortable temperature. Another key benefit of the SAS170 system is its versatility. The suspended ceiling system uses a convenient, hinge down torsion spring to easily access the ceiling void while seamlessly integrating with different ceiling styles.
