High Performance Space Heating in High Bay Buildings

High Performance Space Heating in High Bay Buildings

For many years, there has been little improvement in the heating efficiencies of commercial and industrial heating products in the US. This presentation details a class of make up air technology established by the Department of Energy called High Temperature Heating & Ventilation (HTHV). The presentation will discuss the energy efficiency characteristics and the IAQ benefits of the technology as well as briefly discuss a Department of Energy field study showing a 20% gas savings when compared to standard unit heaters in a high-bay applications.

Learning Objectives: 
  1. Understand how a building can meet its space heating and ventilation needs through 100% outside air HTHV direct fired heating technology
  2. Understand the potential for widespread energy savings with HTHV technologies.
  3. Understand how a building can meet its space heating and ventilation needs through 100% outside air HTHV direct fired heating technology
  4. Recognize the energy savings from a recent DOE field study of HTHV technology.
