Heating large spaces

A comfortable temperature in any workspace is vital for organisations to function. With winter quickly approaching, employers must have systems in place to ensure proper heating. Temperatures that are too low or too high can affect productivity by making it difficult for employees to focus on their work.

Workplace regulations state that employers have a legal obligation to ensure reasonable temperatures for their employees. The challenge though is heating large spaces such as warehouses and factories. Buildings with 1,000s of square metres and high ceilings are not exactly conducive to heat retention. Cost is another important consideration, as issues like poor insulation result in higher energy usage.

Types of Commercial Heating Systems

There are two options to heat large spaces: warm air and radiant heating.

Warm Air Heating

Warm air space heating systems draw in air through a heat exchanger and distribute it evenly throughout an area. Although natural gas or oil can be used as an energy source, LPG is considered the most cost-effective. The units themselves can be situated on the ceiling, mounted on walls, or placed on the floor. How they are distributed depends on the building layout and how much space requires heating.

Warm air inevitably rises in buildings with high ceilings, resulting in energy loss. Suspending destratification fans addresses this by lowering and evenly distributing the warm air back to the occupied space. These units offer a flexible heating solution and are ideal for areas where a constant temperature is needed.

Radiant Heating

Radiant heating provides heating through radiant tubes or plaque heaters. These can either be suspended from the ceiling or mounted to the wall. Both work by emitting infrared radiation from the surface to heat objects and people rather than the air itself. Underfloor heating offers a good example, as flooring exposed to radiant heating becomes another source of warmth.

Radiant heating offers an energy-efficient solution for commercial spaces, as such systems are able to direct heat where needed. Infrared radiation provides heat to occupants within range but this may pose some limitations depending on how the workspace is laid out.

Each commercial heating system offers cost-effective and energy-efficient solutions for commercial buildings but with distinct characteristics. So it’s important to first consider the type of heating required and the space it is for before making a decision.

Heating Solutions For Commercial and Industrial Spaces

Heating solutions for commercial and industrial spaces. If you’re struggling to maintain a comfortable working temperature or experiencing any heat loss issues, there are a lot of options and companies across the UK who can install heating systems and significantly reduce your overall energy costs.

Heating requirements depend on various factors, so experts will typically start by assessing your situation and property which allows them to recommend heating solutions which are both cost effective and energy efficient.
