The portfolio includes AXIS™ 35E, 35J, 35K, 35L, 35N, 45F, 45J, 45M, 45N, 45Q and 45R, spanning single-duct, dual-duct, fan-powered and system-powered applications with available factory-installed controls and options. These air terminals support flexible system design while helping deliver consistent comfort, efficient airflow management and reliable building performance.

Induction Beams

Cutting-Edge Beams

Carrier ActivAIR™ 36IB induction beams provide efficient, quiet and precise climate control for commercial spaces by combining primary air with room air to deliver effective zone conditioning. Designed to help streamline primary air systems while supporting required ventilation, ActivAIR™ technology can contribute to energy savings and reduced system operating requirements while maintaining occupant comfort. The 36IB is suited to applications where low-noise operation, space efficiency and precise environmental control are important considerations.

Fan Coils

Versatile Fan Coils

Carrier AirStream™ fan coils provide flexible zone-level heating and cooling for commercial applications where efficient, reliable and quiet air distribution is essential. The AirStream™ portfolio includes 42B, 42C, 42D, 42S, 42V and 42WKN models, offering configurations that can accommodate different installation requirements and application needs. AirStream™ fan coils can support comfort, ventilation and space-conditioning strategies across commercial buildings while integrating with Carrier HVAC systems and controls.

Induction Units

Induction Units Redefined

Carrier WeatherMaster® 36S induction units provide perimeter-zone conditioning for applications where comfort, efficient air distribution and precise environmental control are critical. Available in nine configurations, the 36S can be applied in hospitals, hotels, apartments, high-rise offices and other commercial environments to address varying perimeter heating and cooling requirements. Its induction-based design supports zone-level comfort while providing designers with flexibility for integrating perimeter conditioning into broader commercial HVAC systems.

Unit Ventilators

High-Performance Unit Ventilators

Carrier 40U unit ventilators provide dedicated ventilation and space-conditioning capabilities for applications requiring dependable outdoor-air management and zone-level temperature control. Designed for commercial and institutional environments, unit ventilators can support comfort and indoor-air-quality objectives while providing flexible installation and control options. The 40U portfolio gives building designers and facility teams a practical solution for spaces where ventilation, heating and cooling need to be addressed within a single airside system.

Designed for the Demands of Today's Buildings

Commercial buildings require more than basic heating and cooling. Modern airside systems must respond to changing occupancy, ventilation requirements, energy goals, space constraints and indoor environmental quality.

Carrier airside solutions are designed to address these challenges through:

Choose from a broad range of air handlers, terminals, fan coils and specialized airside products to match the building and application.

Carrier air terminals and zone-level equipment help regulate airflow and temperature according to individual space requirements.

Air handling and ventilation solutions can be configured to support filtration, ventilation and healthier indoor environments.

Efficient air distribution, variable-air-volume strategies, induction technologies and airside economization can help reduce unnecessary energy use when properly applied.

Carrier offers products designed for replacement and retrofit applications, helping building owners modernize existing HVAC infrastructure while working within existing space and system constraints.

Carrier offers solutions engineered for applications where occupant comfort and low sound levels are important, including offices, hospitality, healthcare and education.

Airside Solutions for Every Application

Carrier commercial airside systems are designed to address the distinct airflow, ventilation, comfort, indoor air quality and energy-efficiency requirements of different building environments. Explore solutions tailored to healthcare, hospitality, higher education, data centers, federal solutions and K-12 education, with commercial HVAC equipment and air distribution technologies suited to each application.

Healthcare

Healthcare facilities require precise environmental control across spaces with different ventilation, occupancy and airflow requirements. Commercial air handling units can provide centralized conditioning and air distribution, while air terminals and VAV systems help manage airflow at the zone level. Fan coil units and induction units can provide additional flexibility for areas requiring localized temperature control. These airside HVAC solutions can support patient care areas, treatment spaces, laboratories, administrative areas and other healthcare environments.

Hospitality

Hotels and other hospitality facilities need comfortable, quiet and efficient conditioning across guest rooms and shared spaces. Fan coil units can provide localized comfort in guest accommodations, while air handlers and air terminals support larger common areas, meeting spaces and other zones. Induction beams and induction units can also provide discreet, quiet air distribution where architectural design and occupant comfort are priorities.

Higher Education

College and university campuses encompass classrooms, lecture halls, laboratories, libraries, residence halls and other spaces with highly variable occupancy. Air handling units and VAV air terminals provide flexible approaches to centralized conditioning and zone-level airflow control, while fan coils and induction beams can support spaces requiring more localized temperature management. These commercial air distribution systems can adapt to changing schedules and occupancy patterns across campus facilities.

Data Centers

Data centers require careful management of airflow and environmental conditions to support mission-critical equipment. Air handling systems and air distribution equipment can be integrated with building controls and broader cooling strategies to manage airflow throughout critical spaces. Carrier airside technologies can help support consistent environmental conditions while providing flexibility as equipment loads, room configurations and facility requirements change.

Federal Solutions

Federal facilities can range from office buildings and specialized facilities to large, complex government campuses, creating diverse HVAC requirements. Aero® air handlers, AXIS™ air terminals, AirStream™ fan coils and other air distribution solutions provide configurable options for temperature control, ventilation and zone management. These technologies can support facility modernization, retrofit projects and varying operational requirements across federal buildings.

K-12 Education

Schools require effective ventilation and temperature control while accommodating classrooms and other spaces with constantly changing occupancy and schedules. Unit ventilators, including Carrier 40U, can provide localized conditioning and ventilation for educational spaces, while air handlers, air terminals and fan coil units can support larger or multi-zone areas. These commercial HVAC solutions can help create comfortable learning environments across classrooms, libraries, cafeterias, administrative spaces and common areas.
