The public sector client also expects to see energy costs cut by 71% and carbon emissions reduced by 76%. The existing heating consisted of seven gas heaters, these were not zoned or controlled and required large amounts of air to be heated for significant periods of time. The decision was taken to install 22 Herschel Advantage infrared heaters with a total heat output of just 44.85kW, a figure made possible because they offer directional heat for staff where needed and also heat the fabric of the building rather than the air.
