Multi-Heat Source Control
Controlling the temperature in an indoor space often requires the management of a number of different sources of heat, taking into account ventilation issues and other factors which can vary according to how the space is being used at different times. Your heating requirements may alter as machinery switches on and off, or the number of people using the enclosed space varies.
How Keiba can help
We will advise you of the measures to take and what you should consider when you need to control and balance multiple heat sources to achieve the optimum ambient temperature in any given space, such as:
- managing multiple sources of heat in your domestic or commercial space (for example heat pumps, machinery or equipment, and less controllable sources like wood burning stoves, open fires, and AGAs)
- setting up a control system to regulate the heat output against the demand
- using the cheapest form of heat available at any given time
- avoiding over-supply (making sure radiators are not on full when a stove is burning)
- managing the transfer of excess heat from a secondary source around the building via ventilation ducting (if installed)
- on a new building project, climate control should be considered as early as possible in the planning process, involving all the heating and ventilation installers and contractors
Working with you
We begin by assessing the building or structure in question, looking at the existing installed heating and ventilation systems, and identifying secondary sources of heat or cooling within the environment. We then advise you which solutions we feel would best meet your needs, and provide a fully costed proposal for the supply and installation of a controllable system.
