Mixed-use buildings integrate multiple functions within a single structure, such as residential units, office spaces, and retail areas…
Creating vibrant, dynamic environments but also presenting unique challenges, especially when it comes to heating.
These buildings often face unique heating challenges that differ from space to space. For instance, residential units often use electric baseboards or fan-forced wall heaters for consistent warmth. Retail areas, on the other hand, may benefit from infrared heaters or ceiling-mounted units to ensure even heat distribution.
Each type of heater is chosen to optimize energy efficiency and comfort tailored to the unique requirements of the space.
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!
The Future of Industrial Heating. Clean, No Local Emission Electric.
Lower StartUp Costs
Electric heaters are less expensive and simple to install. They do not require ductwork or plumbed gas lines, so they can be installed without any disruption to your facility.
Cleaner, Safer Heating
Clean, Dry Heat with Zero Local Emissions. No burning materials, combustible gases, or noxious fumes means electric heat is the safest heating solution for your facility.
Better Efficiency
According to the EPA, electric heat is 100% efficient. Plain and Simple. And since each room is controlled independently, you only heat the spaces you are using.
Reduced Emissions
Because electric heaters do not rely on burning anything, no carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. When it comes to the process of converting a fuel source to heat energy, it doesn’t get any cleaner than electricity.
Health Benefits
Zero emissions mean cleaner air and health benefits for everyone. Decreasing the use of fossil fuels also improves the general health of ecosystems and the planet.
Lower Repair & Maintenance Costs
Electric heaters are virtually maintenance-free and rarely break down.
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.
Below is a list of common areas in a mixed-use building that can benefit from electric heaters, customized to address specific needs:
