As Waterloo Air Products plc is the first company in the UK to meet the rigorous European standard for the testing and rating of its active chilled beams, it was specified in the first phase of a 10-year staged development program at Dublin Airport. In order to do this, Waterloo worked closely with Ventac, its Irish distributor, and with Lynskey Engineering, mechanical engineering contractor, to design an energy efficient cooling solution in Area 14, a new lower ground floor check-in area and the Pier D boarding facility which provides direct boarding and disembarkation for passengers and a more efficient turnaround of aircraft.

Dublin Airport Authority specified that the building should be as energy efficient as possible, meeting the new regulations on energy use from the European Union. The range conforms to the new European standard (PR) EN 15116 on chilled beam testing, which provides performance data with the highest degree of confidence and to the latest available specifications.
