What Dadanco does

Dadanco is a specialty manufacturer of commercial HVAC terminal and air-distribution products, organized around three product families: active chilled beams, perimeter induction units, and displacement ventilation diffusers (sold under the "Inffusers" brand). The product line includes the ACB active chilled beam series, the FMTBY/FMFBY/FMLBY perimeter induction unit series, the IDL/IDS displacement ventilation Inffusers, passive chilled beams, and the IDU-series terminal units. The company's central technical claim is a proprietary nozzle geometry on its perimeter induction units, which it states produces quieter operation and higher thermal output than standard induction nozzles; patents or formal IP status are not disclosed.

The business was originally founded in Australia and now operates from a LEED Gold-certified (69 points) headquarters in Westfield, Massachusetts, indicating a deliberate relocation of commercial focus to the North American market. Products are specified into hydronic (chilled-water and four-pipe) HVAC systems in commercial buildings, making the company a specification-stage vendor rather than a component retailer. All commercial activity is transacted through a channel model — regional sales representatives and authorized distributors — with pricing established on a project-by-project quote basis; no public price list exists.

Customers are commercial real estate developers, design engineers, mechanical contractors, and HVAC consultants. Visible reference projects include the Seagram Building at 375 Park Avenue (New York), the Comcast Technology Center (Philadelphia), 250 N Wacker Drive (Chicago), the Frost School of Music (Miami), the University of Massachusetts, and the Federal Dirksen Courthouse — a project list that skews toward high-end Class A commercial and institutional real estate rather than volume SMB work.

Core offering

Dadanco manufactures and sells active chilled beams (ACB10–ACB55 plus low-height variants), passive chilled beams, perimeter induction units (FMTBY, FMFBY, FMLBY series), and Inffuser displacement ventilation diffusers (IDL and IDS series) for commercial-building HVAC applications. Each unit is factory-fabricated and factory-tested, and the company supports engineering, specification, and selection through in-house selection software and downloadable Revit/BIM files. Products are sold to design engineers, mechanical contractors, and building owners through regional sales representatives and specialty distributors.

Product overview

Dadanco is a manufacturer of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) products specializing in energy-efficient building climate control solutions. The product portfolio includes three core product lines: Active Chilled Beams (ACB series including ACB10, ACB20, ACB30, ACB35, ACB40, ACB44, ACB45, ACB50, ACB55, and low-height variants ACB40L and ACB50L), Perimeter Induction Units (FMTBY, FMFBY, FMLBY), and Inffusers (IDL and IDS series linear and square induction diffusers with various throw patterns). Additionally, Dadanco offers Passive Chilled Beams (DPBEM, DPBRM, DPBIR models), IDU Series Induction Displacement Units, and supporting accessories. The company also provides Dadanco Selection Software for product sizing and REVIT BIM files for design integration. Dadanco was founded in Australia with initial innovations centered around quiet and efficient perimeter induction nozzle technology, and has expanded to serve North American markets from their LEED Gold certified headquarters in Westfield, Massachusetts.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Active Chilled Beams (ACB series) Factory-fabricated, factory-tested active chilled beams in multiple sizes (ACB10–ACB55 plus low-height variants) used for cooling, heating, and ventilation in commercial buildings. Designed around Dadanco's proprietary multi-nozzle induction technology and selected/specified by HVAC design engineers and mechanical contractors for high-performance commercial projects.
• Passive Chilled Beams Passive (non-induction) chilled beams that provide radiant cooling via natural convection, used in commercial HVAC applications where active induction is not required. Sourced as part of Dadanco's single-source chilled-beam suite by design engineers and mechanical contractors.
• Perimeter Induction Units (FMTBY, FMFBY, FMLBY series) Perimeter induction units (FMTBY, FMFBY, FMLBY series) that combine perimeter heating/cooling with induction-based ventilation for commercial building envelopes. Specified by HVAC design engineers for zone-level comfort along exterior walls.
• Inffuser Displacement Ventilation Diffusers (IDL and IDS series) Low-velocity displacement ventilation diffusers (Inffusers, IDL and IDS series) that supply air at floor level for displacement ventilation strategies in commercial spaces. Specified by design engineers for applications requiring improved indoor air quality and low air-distribution velocities.
• Chilled Beam and Induction Unit Selection Software In-house selection software used by HVAC design engineers to size and select Dadanco chilled-beam and induction-unit products for commercial-building projects. Downloaded from the Dadanco website.
• Revit / BIM Product Files Downloadable Revit/BIM product files for Dadanco chilled beams, induction units, and Inffusers, used by design engineers to incorporate Dadanco products directly into BIM-based building designs.
