color:#1F497D'>A valance unit is essentially an induction unit. From Harvard’s
website below:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='background:white'><i>Valance systems are induction units that provide
cooling or heating. In cooling mode, chilled water is circulated through finned
coils in the unit. As warm air rises, it passes over the coils, is cooled, and
sinks to the floor, creating a constant convective loop. By eliminating the
need for forced air, the cooling load is reduced. In heating mode, hot water
passes through the finned tubes. As air passes over the coils, a layer of
radiative warmth is formed across the ceiling and is radiated back down into the
space. These units eliminate the need for an electric-driven fan to push air,
saving money and energy, while reducing draft and eliminating noise. <o:p></o:p></i></p>
