Mixed-use buildings are designed to integrate multiple functions within a single structure, such as residential units, office spaces, and retail areas. This combination of uses can create vibrant, dynamic environments but also presents unique challenges, especially when it comes to heating.
Each area within the building has distinct heating needs, and there is an appropriate electric heating solution for each one. These buildings often face unique heating challenges that differ from room to room, necessitating tailored heating solutions to ensure both energy efficiency and maximum comfort.
WHY IT MATTERS?
The truth is that not every application in your building
has the same heating requirements but King has a solution for them all.
Now That’s Smart!
Always discuss with your HVAC specialist or installer to calculate a specific area’s heat loss requirements and to recommend the appropriate sized heater for your space.
