How to Improve Energy Efficiency in Commercial Buildings

With the ever-growing importance and issues of climate change impacting our future, it’s wise to know how to improve the energy efficiency in your commercial building. As a result of the government’s Energy White Paper released in 2020, the Net Zero policies confirmed the minimum energy efficiency standards for rented non-domestic buildings to be EPC B by 2030. Making it now, more than ever, important to improve your energy efficiency.

What Do the Government’s Energy Efficiency Grants Entail?

While the cost of living is still affecting households across the UK and energy fees are rising, businesses are seeing a huge reduction in the amount of electrical goods they are selling and installing. To combat this, the government has provided a variety of energy efficiency grants worth £6 billion.

Heat Pump vs Gas Boiler: Which One Is Better?

The heat pump vs gas boiler debate is one that is currently popular, and it is also one that is fairly complex. But are heat pumps better than boilers? If you are looking to make the move from your traditional boiler to a heat pump, the answer to this question will be of great interest. In some cases, a heat pump may prove to be a superior alternative to your gas boiler. In other instances, it may prove to be a backwards step. Today the team at Chillaire are going to unpack this and look to settle the heat pump vs gas boiler debate.

Powrmatic / Combat / Winterwarm – Gas Fired Warm Air Heating

Why Gas Fired Warm Air Heating for Commercial or Industrial Environments?

Gas fired warm air heating is a cost effective way of heating large spaces such warehouses or distributions centres or showrooms or similar.
The latest gas fired heaters manufactured by Combat / Winterwarm or Powrmatic are modern energy efficient and highly reliable and ideal for commercial / industrial premises and work by forcing warm air around the building. These heaters are most often used in commercial properties and public spaces such as retail outlets, sports halls, distribution centres, warehouse storage facilities, production areas and sports halls and are known to improve energy efficiency when compared to other systems. Additional installation costs are easily absorbed by long-term savings.

Why Use Warm Air Heating Systems?

Warm air heating works by pulling cold air from the building and pushing it across a heat exchanger. The cold air is heated via the fan and re-distributed back into the environment until an ambient temperature is achieved. There are a wide variety of fuels to choose from, such as natural gas, LPG, oil, and biofuels, to operate the system. By combining warm air heating with a sophisticated control system, businesses can easily manage the temperature without overheating or getting too cold.
Warm air heating systems can include roof suspended and floor standing cabinet units, making them an extremely versatile choice for industrial and commercial premises.

Powrmatic and Winterwarm have a unique range of gas fired heater range:

Powrmatic recently introduced its new LNVX energy efficient heater range.

Winterwarm has the XR range with stainless steel heat exchangers.

The Combat Compact range is ideal for smaller buildings that may require less heating, particularly when space is at a minimum. Alternatively, for improved energy efficiency, you may want to consider the Combat ECO Condensing Unit Heaters, which are one of the smallest condensing heaters on the market at present.

Why Combat Heating Solutions?

Radiant Heating

Radiant heater

What is Radiant Heating?

Radiant heating is a cost-effective, reliable method of heating small to very large indoor areas that require a more even spread of heat. The best way to simply describe how infrared radiant heaters work is to compare it to the most reliable known heater – the Sun. The heat energy from the Sun radiates through space and our atmosphere, striking the Earth’s surface and heating it. It is this warmed surface that then heats the air and raises the air temperature.
Due to the versatility of radiant heaters, they are utilised for large spaces such as factory and warehouse heating.

Why Radiant Heaters?

Radiant heating, unlike fan assisted warm air heaters, does not heat the air. It first heats the people and the objects around it, including the floor, which in turn act as secondary heaters, raising the air temperature. The main benefit of radiant heating is the reduced loss of heated air in areas with opening doors and windows.

Unlike warm air heaters which use excessive energy to heat the building’s atmosphere, once a door has been opened, objects heated by radiant heating will continue to stay warm. For industrial and commercial buildings such as distribution centres or warehouses that often have large doors open to cater for deliveries, radiant heating is the most cost-effective solution for maintaining suitable working temperatures.

Combat Energy Saving Accessories

Combat Heating Solutions understands the importance of energy efficiency in the workplace. Reliable heating systems that can be automatically controlled while reducing energy consumption, is essential for most business owners and landlords. Industrial heating systems work in some of the toughest conditions and are required to adapt quickly to changing circumstances.
That’s why to provide energy saving Combat controls and destratification fans complement their new industrial heater range. Combat energy-saving destratification fans improve the efficiency of the heater by keeping valuable warm air down at working level, thus reducing heat loss through the roof structure. The Energy Efficient NRG Controller maximises fuel efficiency through self-learning optimisation, which could save you money on your energy bills.

  • & Many more…….

Principles of Winterwarm Heating Systems:

Indirect heating systems differ significantly from other forms of heating (e.g. electric heating, underfloor heating, direct-fired, etc.)  in that heat is transferred the space via a heat exchanger within the unit or by radiant tubes. These heating systems tolerate a wide range of working environments (e.g. high levels of solvents or dust) as the combustion is completely self-contained and can be located remotely if required. The range of heating systems includes: 

Gas-fired heaters (natural gas or LPG): available as suspended unit heaters, radiant tubes or floor-mounted cabinets

Oil-fired heaters: available as floor-mounted cabinet heaters

Fan coil units: using hot water from conventional boilers, biomass boilers or heat recovery systems

Benefits of Winterwarm Heating Systems:

Winterwarm is a leading provider of heating solutions which have various characteristics that benefit customers:

  • Fully programmable controls: This is particularly beneficial in cases of intermittent use or when heat demand is erratic (e.g. community halls).  Unlike underfloor heating for example, the heating can be effective for relatively short periods of time.
  • Wide range of outputs: This allows heat output to be closely matched to overall requirements and allows comprehensive “zoning” options to help minimise fuel costs.
  • Sealed combustion systems: This avoids introducing products of combustion into the space and is very tolerant of pollutants within the atmosphere unlike direct-fired heating systems.
  • Natural gas, LPG or oil-fired. Generally considered more cost-effective than electric heating.

Samsung Heat Pump Air Conditioning Installation

Chillaire Limited supplied and installed Samsung wall split air conditioning systems into a village hall in the village of Dunchurch set in between Rugby and Daventry.

Samsung heat pump air conditioning at Dunchurch Village Hall near Rugby

Chillaire Limited supplied and installed five Samsung wall heat pump air conditioning systems into a village hall in Dunchurch to provide cooling in summer and heating in winter. The indoor units were interlinked to operate off a single controller with each wall fan coil unit operating off its own internal temperature sensor to provide a more balanced control throughout the hall.

The mode setting for all five systems can only be set in the same mode, this will stop anyone setting the systems so that they are cooling and heating at the same time and working / fighting against each other.

Samsung have a very good range of equipment from air conditioning split type systems to air conditioning multi systems and air conditioning VRF systems all are heat pump reverse cycle systems.

Fan coil unit options are available as wall, floor, ceiling, ceiling concealed, cassette and ducted.
