The Secret to High Performance Space Heating in High-Bay Buildings (OR-16-C009)

Many buildings with large, high-bay areas suffer from high energy cost in the winter months due to inefficient equipment, poor system layout and thermal stratification. While various strategies are available to heat and ventilate the building, some technologies can meet these heating loads with greater energy efficiency, improved temperature control and other operational benefits. This presentation provides an overview of 100% outside air, HTHV (High Temperature Heating and Ventilation) direct-fired heating technology for high-bay commercial buildings and discusses the findings of a recent field study outside St. Louis, MO.
