Arazoo Collection #112: Turn Up the (Supplemental) Heat
It may not officially be winter until December 21st, but it definitely feels like winter in NYC. Achieving just the right thermal comfort levels can be one of the most challenging aspects of building design. It certainly is one the most common complaints by building occupants. Even as we design buildings that are better insulated, a primary heating system often won’t be enough. During those cold temperature extremes, consider supplemental heat sources like the ones we’ve picked for this week’s Collection. Built-in systems like radiant floors and wood-burning stoves can easily temper a whole room while solutions like towel warmers and heat lamps can provide more focused points of relief from the chill air.
Whether your winter climate is frigid or temperate, it’s worth saving a couple of these supplemental heating solutions for your current or future projects — or sharing them with colleagues. Once saved, it’s easy to add more information later, so that as your personal collection of products grows, it becomes an increasingly valuable professional resource for you.
