Building Environment Solution Technology
The Latest ‘State-of-the-Art’ High Efficiency Disruptive Technology
Combining a unique range of world patented products and specialist materials, designed to produce the highest quality building environment for all types and sizes of High Volume Buildings (HVB’s).
Buildings previously considered the most difficult to heat such as; Aircraft Hangars, Warehouses and Manufacturing Plants from 5 metres up to 75 metres high, can now be fully heated and ventilated at a fraction of existing system costs.
BEST Technology is based on sound laws of physics, this unique technology has been proven to save from 75% up to 93% of the existing system energy cost when compared to even the most modern ‘Conventional’ heating and ventilation technologies available on the market today.
BEST Technology is highly fuel efficient, combining heating and ventilation duties operating synergistically due to a technology innovation which converts the Building into becoming part of the heating system. BEST Technology converts up to 86% of the primary fuel combusted into downward directional energy which is absorbed by the building floor and fabric, where the people are. The secondary effect converts the stored heat in the floor and fabric, into the fresh clean air sitting at floor level. The physics ensure this conditioning system is less affected by air movement due to the building thermal store, making it now possible to change the air at regular intervals dependent upon levels of work required without effect on cost or comfort.
The Seasonal Cost of the heating and ventilation of an HVB 12 metres high operating 120 hours a week over a 32 week Winter season: Gas at £0.03p and Power at £0.13p per kW/hr.
BEST Technology is: £2.30p per square metre per Season
Conventional technology systems such as Boilers, Warm Air and Radiant System technologies use heated air as their primary method of heating HVB’s. These technologies are over 100 years old, they convert up to 85% of the primary energy consumed into producing hot air which use large fans to distribute the air around the HVB. Conventional Radiant Heating systems are little more than spot heating systems, producing hot and cold spots around the building, even conventional low cost radiant systems convert as much as 75% of the primary energy consumed into hot air which rises, as convective heat losses, all suffer the issues of ventilation and the problems that creates, which extracts air almost uncontrolled due to laws of physics.
The Seasonal Cost of the heating and ventilation of an HVB 12 metres high operating 120 hours a week over a 32 week Winter season: Gas at £0.03p and Power at £0.13p per kW/hr.
Boilers and Air Handling Units is: £22.35p per square metre per Season
D/F Warm Air Handling Units is: £20.00p per square metre per Season
Radiant Heater Units is: £12.74p per square metre per Season
So the choice is: a low cost high efficiency fully conditioned HVB environment, or a low efficiency warm air system with 5 to 10 times greater energy cost and consumption.
THE SCIENTIFIC FACTS
Heating HVB’s with hot air is highly inefficient. whereas electromagnetic rays travel 94¼ million miles directly from the Sun with minimal losses, striking the Earths surface the rays are converted into heat at ground level creating heated air as the secondary effect. This process carried out inside of a building turns the building into the heating system. The building fabric becomes a thermal store, this makes controlling temperature to within +/- ½°C possible, ensuring levels of comfort for the building occupants as never before experienced. Then when the ventilation system comes on, which comprises numerous independently speed controlled intake and extract fans based on outside air temperature, producing a positive building pressure to achieve a draft-free clean air quality environment in Winter time. With BEST Technology there is absolutely no need to pre-heat the incoming fresh air, which is introduced controlled by temperature, to measure exact amounts required. The fresh incoming cool air drops to floor level, being heavier and more dense, collecting and exchanging clean heat on its route down to the floor where it finally collects the heat from the floor and lower building fabric to raise the new clean fresh air to optimum temperature, no more than 1°C above surrounding air, it then begins to rise, as it rises the now heated air collects the production pollution on its way up to the roof and the location of the heating temperature sensor, where the pollution carrying air it eventually evacuated by extract fans, to the outside. This natural convective cycle completely avoids the stratified hot air stratification problem produced by Conventional technology systems.
CONVENTIONAL SYSTEMS FAIL BECAUSE OF HEAT STRATIFICATION
Heating air directly from the energy the system burners combust, creates high temperature differentials in the air encouraging the hottest air to rise high above the heads of the people the heating systems are designed to heat. When ventilation is then added to this already confused hot air jumble, costs dramatically increase and the high air movement created is cause for complaint by the building occupants. This then is the fundamental problem of Conventional technology systems used in the heating and ventilation of HVB’s and why the operating costs of these conventional systems are so exceptionally wasteful.
RESULTS OF ENERGY SAVINGS
Conventional system operating costs range from between 5 times (Conventional Radiant) and 10 times greater (Boilers and D/F Warm Air Systems) than the costs of BEST Technology systems, which have the added benefit of delivering high quality heating and clean fresh air for little more than 10% of the Gas and Power cost of operating most Conventional Systems.
