Heating St. James Research Centre using Halo

Background

The research centre was looking into more energy efficient ways of heating the church space to reduce carbon emissions. They approached Herschel after they had searched online for church heating solutions. They had also spoken with Scottish energy assessment teams who had put Herschel Infrared’s name forward too.

Heating tall buildings with Halo

The research centre interior sits within a tall, older church building, a large space which can be costly to heat using traditional convection heating. Halo uses infrared heating technology and the team at St James was keen on its ability to provide targeted heat, heating occupied space and not unoccupied spaces. By heating smaller working zones, when required, rather than the total mtr2 of the large space, infrared can save energy and emissions when compared with alternative heating solutions.

The team at St James liked the design of the Halo heaters and how they keep with the aesthetic look of the church.

6 x 9.6kW Halo heaters were specified and installed within the space. The design chosen was a plain finish in a bronze colour, combined with LED lights.

The project progressed very quickly, with funding raised promptly. The Herschel team was able to recommend an installer for the St James installation, Brian Wallace in this instance.
