Heating passive houses with Infrared

Perfect heating for energy-efficient houses

Infrared is the perfect low energy solution for heating Passive houses due to their high insulation levels and other energy efficiencies. Infrared can be appropriately scaled to meet the low heating needs of each room. As Architectural Designer Charlie Luxton recognised when choosing Herschel for his own eco house project, there was no point investing in an expensive heating system like a heat pump, when the heat requirements of the building were going to be so low.Herschel Infrared was therefore idea for providing the background levels of heat required as well as being slimline and unobtrusive. The wiring could easily be planned at first fix stage and the panels could be easily fitted after decorating, avoiding the disruption, cost and complexities of underfloor heating or heat pumps. Unlike air and ground source heat pumps, Herschel panels have a low carbon footprint during manufacture, have no harmful gases, are maintenance free and are 97% recyclable at end of life.

The zero carbon ‘COP26 House’ was built in Glasgow for the Climate Summit and is a perfect example of how Herschel heating provides the ideal solution for well-insulated, passive homes.
