Our brokers found Design Ready Controls, they are our client for this building.
They wanted to own their own building, so we sold them the land and we’re constructing the building for them. They are familiar with heating and cooling systems and they wanted to explore what we have to offer.
Let’s start by defining several criteria for evaluation of heating systems
Efficiency: producing the maximum output with the minimum input
Environment: impact on the internal and external environment in terms of noise pollution, air pollution and health risk
Aesthetics: appearance in terms of equipment space requirements and visibility and opportunities to minimize adverse design impacts
Cost: product, installation, operating and maintenance costs
Effectiveness: overall evaluation of efficiency, environment, aesthetics and cost factors
Our electric radiant heating systems are 15% less expensive than Hot Water Baseboard, 43% less expensive than Oil Hot Air, 52% less expensive than Heat Pump and 56% less expensive than Hydronic Oil.
The savings continue due to the ease of installation. You will also save time and money utilizing lower cost laborers compared to HVAC and Electrical professionals with our easy installation process.

Heat Loss According To The Second Law of Thermodynamics
Let’s start with the fundamentals and review a few laws of physics:
How does your heating system impact the on-time completion of your construction project?
Every Project Manager understands there are three key variables in any project:
A study of a 20-story, 392,000 square foot first class office building in downtown Montreal examined the 30 year life cycle costs of radiant vs. hydronic heat.
The building developer wanted an evaluation of alternative gas and electric perimeter heating systems for his proposed 532,500 square foot office building to be located in downtown Montreal.
For a Multi-unit dwelling in Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada, the numbers are in and they’re impressive!
More and more projects are using radiant heating as the primary heating system for the building. Whether that projects is a single detached residential home, an office and warehouse building, a high-rise office tower, etc., radiant heat is being deployed in all kinds of projects.
We all want to save energy. Whether your main reason is to be environmentally friendly (“green”) or just to save money, we all recognize the importance of not wasting energy.
Did you know that the very nature of radiant heat can do that for you?
This is the fourth installment of the mini-series Why Radiant Heat Rocks!. In this series I’m highlighting some of the more unusual applications for which radiant heat excels over the more traditional hot-air approach to heating.
