Daniel Harris, Technical Manager of Dadanco, will be presenting on Chilled Beam technology. This has been popular around the world as an alternative form of cooling from typical mixing ventilation. It is an up and coming technology here in the United States with potential green applications.

Daniel Harris graduated from the University of Adelaide in 2002 with an Honors Degree in Mechanical Engineering. Upon graduation, he joined BESTEC, the largest consulting engineering company in South Australia and held the position of Senior Mechanical Engineer within 3 years. Daniel worked on many high profile projects and designed a number of projects with Active Chilled Beams.

In 2005, Daniel joined Dadanco in the role of Technical Manager and was responsible for all engineering departments and projects throughout Oceania, Europe and the Americas. Daniel has a keen interest in projects that utilize new technology and has worked in developing new and improved products with Dadanco with an emphasis on energy and cost reduction.

Dadanco Pty Ltd, headquartered in Adelaide, Australia, is the leading manufacturer of active chilled beams in Australia. In mid-2007 Mestek and Dadanco formed a joint venture to produce active chilled beams, induction diffusers and induction units for the North and South American markets. The products are produced in the USA in Mestek’s manufacturing facility in Wyalusing, PA. Daniel holds the position of Director of Engineering with the Dadanco LLC joint venture and oversees all of the engineering, technical decisions and manufacturing partner relationship.

Daniel is an accredited professional in the Australian equivalent of LEED (Green Building Council of Australia) and has worked on many green certified projects that utilize energy efficient HVAC technologies. Daniel and his wife, Iluka and daughter Keala, reside in Westfield, MA.
