Heating accounts for 42% of the energy usage in commercial buildings and much of this is fuelled by oil and gas. For socially responsible businesses, adopting a sustainable approach to heating can make a big difference. It’s all well and good installing solar panels on your roof but if you are still using fossil fuels for heating, those CO2 emissions are going to be high.
This raises the question of how different technologies can be combined to make more eco-friendly businesses. Infrared offers a low carbon heating solution which has numerous benefits including low electricity usage and easy installation. But when used in conjunction with solar panels and battery storage, the combined system has the potential to deliver financial savings, carbon reductions and energy independence.
