Radiant Heating CPD

The ability to economically heat buildings, whilst also considering the environmental impact, is becoming more and more important. This is especially so in large spaces such as offices, warehouses, sports centres, retail outlets, schools, and hospitals where energy usage is high. We spend virtually three-quarters of our lives in buildings: the indoor climate, temperature, and air quality has a considerable influence on our general well-being. A range of options are available when choosing heating systems, however, one that is often overlooked and perhaps not so readily understood is radiant heating. The radiant heating CPD from Zehnder examines the technology further and examines the benefits the system can offer.

Learning objectives

• An understanding of radiant heat and how it works
• How resultant/perceived temperature affects us
• The features and benefits of radiant heating
• Comparisons between radiant and convective systems
