Decentralised heating


Non-residential buildings require differentiated heating technology – infrared radiant heating for the environment and cost reduction.

Unlike central heating systems – for example, a boiler with pumped hot water distribution and heat transfer via heating surfaces or pipe systems in the floor – decentralised heating technology is specially designed for many non-residential buildings with ceiling heights of 4 metres and more, such as assembly halls or other large spaces such as hangars, warehouses, etc.

Decentralised heating provides a sustainable, economical and future-proof solution for heating large spaces. It protects the environment by reducing CO2 emissions. With luminous gas radiant heaters and radiant tube heaters, decentralised heating generates heat very efficiently (with gas or oil) and within minutes where it is needed.

There is no need for the long pre-heating and post-heating times required by centralised systems, as radiant heat is used instead of convection (heated air). Radiant heat travels through the air with almost no loss. With decentralised heating technology, a number of energy savings can be made, significantly reducing heating costs.
