Speaker Bio:

Chris spent most of his career at Trox, a renowned European manufacturer of air distribution products, including Chilled Beams. He worked on more than 500 buildings in Europe, Middle East, Asia and North America before moving to the United States. He worked on the largest chilled beam installation (at that time) in Europe, NAP, Cheltenham, UK which had approximately 18 km (11.2 miles) of passive beams. Chris has over 35 years’ experience in the selection and application of HVAC products and devices and over 20 years in the application of chilled ceilings, passive and active chilled beams, with the last 8 years based in North America as the company’s President and CEO. Chris is considered one of the pioneers in the application of chilled beams in the USA and has been involved with many of the major chilled beam installations here, which includes the largest chilled beam installation in North America, Constitution Center, D.C. @ 1.4m/ft2 with over 7000 beams, and 2 major jobs for Fidelity in OH & TX with a combined total of over 3500 beams. Chris has also applied chilled beams at many major Universities including MIT (3 buildings), Harvard, Penn State, Oregon Health & Science University, Stanford (5 buildings including E&E, SoEC & LKC), Greenspun Building, University of Las Vegas (NV), Brown University (RI), Princeton (2 buildings) and University of California, Davis (2 buildings). Chris has also worked on chilled beam installations in laboratories at: - Tahoe Center for Environmental Studies (NV), UC Santa Cruz Bio Renewable labs, (CA), Stanford Nano Center (CA), Princeton Chemistry Building (NJ), UW School of Medicine, Phase 2 (WA) – considered the largest chilled beam installation in laboratories in North America, and Porter Neuroscience Research Center, N.I.H, Bethesda (MD).

Chris also was involved directly with National Institute of Health, Bethesda (MD) on a number of research projects and tests into the use of chilled beams in North America and on a major renovation with the NIH where a multistory hospital building was converted to laboratories cooled by chilled beams.
