Public and heritage buildings often present complex heating challenges, particularly in spaces such as churches, community halls, village halls and historic venues. Large internal volumes, high ceilings, thick masonry walls and limited insulation can make conventional heating systems inefficient and difficult to control.
Infrared heating provides an effective alternative by delivering radiant warmth directly to occupants and internal surfaces, rather than attempting to heat large volumes of air. This makes it particularly suitable for buildings where maintaining consistent comfort has traditionally been problematic, especially during intermittent or seasonal use.
Infrared panels can be installed discreetly to minimise visual impact, helping to preserve the character and integrity of historic interiors. By gently warming walls and surfaces, infrared heating can also assist in reducing condensation and damp, supporting the long-term protection of finishes, artwork, furnishings and architectural features.
For public and community spaces, infrared heating enables flexible zoning and scheduling. Individual areas can be heated only when in use, such as during services, meetings or events, improving efficiency while maintaining comfortable conditions. This page explores how infrared heating can be applied across public and heritage environments to deliver reliable warmth, improved control and responsible energy use.
