An office can meet its general temperature target while individual employees still feel uncomfortably cold. Desks beside entrances, external walls, large windows or ventilation outlets are particularly vulnerable to draughts and cold surrounding surfaces. Increasing the central-heating setting may warm the entire room, including areas that are already comfortable. Under-desk heating offers a more targeted

Churches are among the most challenging buildings to heat. High ceilings, large internal volumes, solid masonry, historic furnishings and intermittent occupancy can make conventional whole-building heating slow or costly to operate. A church may need to provide comfortable conditions for a service lasting little more than an hour, followed by several periods when much of

Maintaining a comfortable temperature in kennels and catteries can be challenging. Animal accommodation may contain individual sleeping compartments, exercise areas, corridors and frequently opened doors, so heating the entire building uniformly can consume energy without giving every animal the conditions it needs. A more targeted approach may help. Low-wattage radiant panels can provide supplementary warmth

Radiant panel heaters can provide targeted warmth in places where heating an entire room or building is inefficient, impractical or unnecessary. Instead of treating every area as though it has the same heating requirement, radiant panels can be positioned near the people, animals or occupied workstations that need warmth. This makes them particularly useful in

Gatehouses, ticket offices and fixed retail workstations often experience heating problems that are difficult to solve with a conventional whole-room system. The employee may remain seated or stand in one position for long periods, while doors, service windows and loading-bay entrances repeatedly allow warm air to escape. Large glazed areas can also create cold surfaces

Radiant panel heaters offer a practical way to provide warmth exactly where it is needed. Rather than attempting to increase the air temperature throughout an entire building, a panel can be positioned to direct heat towards a particular person, workstation or occupied area. This makes radiant heating particularly useful in locations where conventional whole-room heating
