Pioneering technology from Herschel - for the most controlled
and cost-effective way of heating all educational buildings

 Herschel has introduced a revolutionary heating solution with
its Far Infrared heaters which are mounted on walls or ceilings

Traditional central heating in schools, colleges, universities - in fact, anywhere that people learn - can often create stuffy environments and the heated body of air will, by nature, escape through every route possible.

That's why Herschel has introduced a revolutionary heating solution with its Far Infrared heaters which are mounted on walls or ceilings. This system boasts zero maintenance, simple installation, silent operation without fumes, increased comfort levels for users and both reduced energy consumption and carbon emissions. Traditional convector heaters often found in school and university accommodation aim to heat the air volume, whereas Herschel's infrared technology radiates heat directly to areas of buildings and its occupants.

"It's a more controlled and cost effective way of heating an environment because you're heating not just the fabric of the building but the objects within the space and the people within it," elaborates Matt Dodds, Associate Director, Commercial Division, at Herschel. "It uses a far infrared wavelength which is the one we naturally absorb when warm objects radiate heat. It is similar to the feeling of sitting in the winter sun. Where most other convection heating systems are trying to heat the air volume, Herschel is actually heating the building which then itself acts as a radiator, retaining heat for longer and creating a better level of comfort.

Heat loss from draughts, open doors, windows or poor insulation is greatly reduced and energy savings are achieved because this method of heating reaches the required comfort levels with a lower wattage compared to other convection heating systems.

Software is now available so that property owners and managers can see whether people are actually in the rooms and, if the heaters are on or if they've left the window open with the heater on and can then turn off the heating so it's not wasting energy.

Thermostat control is offered via accompanying software which can monitor the heating usage on a floor by floor, or room by room, basis. Landlords and accommodation providers can review the cost of heating, as well as set a temperature range with local thermostats, so the end users can be given control. It gives the opportunity for landlords and occupiers to work together to reduce consumption.

Estates departments considering a switch over needn't reserve this technology for new developments on campus. There are options for retrofitting as well as new builds since Herschel provides a solution for different construction types and ages of property.

Minimal fuss

Zero maintenance may sound too good to be true for many facilities managers but annual checks aren't required for the Herschel Far Infrared heating solutions. Even on a rare occasion when an issue arises, it can be located to a single point via software, avoiding a complete system shutdown. Any problem can be isolated without affecting other rooms.
