Heating project location:

Purpose built aged care facility,
City of Casey, Melbourne, Australia

Hydronic system type:

Gas driven in floor commercial hydronic heating system, featuring multiple zones and timers to maximise resident comfort and optimise ongoing running cost

Floor heating requirement:

Design, supply and install hydronic in floor heating system during construction of the purpose built aged care facility.

Constant ambient temperature required in all resident units and throughout common areas.

Special heating needs:

Installation of a large scale hydronic underfloor heating system was undertaken prior to  pouring the concrete slab and beneath resident units, bathrooms and common areas.

Prior to the project completion further infloor heating zones were successfully incorporated into the partly commissioned system.

The success of this hydronic floor heating project rests with its ability to achieve constant air temperature across a variety of environments with different levels of activity taking place.  Radiant heat transfer is ideal in these situations.

The duct and appliance-free areas allow residents better use of available space.  Impact injury risks are reduced and dust, pollen and other airborne respiratory irritants minimised.
