According to the Office Health & Safety Guidelines in New South Wales, room temperatures must be constant throughout winter. A business owner is required to make sure that the environment in which work is being carried out is at a comfortable temperature range for workers. If air temperature is too low, it can contribute to fatigue and cold related illnesses. Optimum comfort for sedentary or office work is between 20 to 26 degrees, depending on the time of the year.

While you will have to take into account factors like building insulation, layout of workstations, direct sunlight control and control of air flow, there is one easy and energy efficient way to ensure your employees of utmost thermal comfort.
Here are some reasons why you should consider installing electric floor heating or hydronic floor heating in your office.
Floor heating is a great option for large areas. It creates an invisible, safe radiant heat that won&#;t leave hot or cold spots in a room. Your best bet for a larger factory space or office space would be to go with hydronic in-screed or in-slab heating as these are great for larger spaces. Electric underfloor heating is suitable in smaller office spaces, in-slab or under carpet, floating timber floors or directly under a stone or tile floor.
When workers are in an environment where they are not too hot or too cold, they are able to focus more on their tasks and get work done. Because electric and hydronic floor heating solutions work by heating floor surfaces, which in turn heats the air, you are guaranteed to have an environment that is thermally conducive to productivity. No one will be falling ill due to colder temperatures.
Forced airflow of traditional heating systems cause germs, bacteria and dust to circulate through the air. It can also make the air in the room rather dry. When many people are working in one office space, the cleanest way to deliver warm air is with under floor electric heating.
Electric and hydronic floor heating is noiseless and takes up no space. Don&#;t distract your employees with the annoying hum of a ducted heating system or the clicking and ticking of a radiator. It also removes the need for employees to bring in their own small heaters which overload the electrical circuits and cause power outages.
Heating an office space can get pricey. However, with under floor heating, you can save yourself a lot of money. Because under floor heating changes the way a human perceives their thermal environment, you can achieve the same comfort as traditional heating methods even in a room that&#;s a few degrees cooler.

You don&#;t need to use nearly as much energy to heat a room with radiant floor heating. In addition, electric underfloor heating is easy to program with a digital thermostat. It automatically turns up throughout the day, but switches off when it&#;s not required after office hours.
Many companies are choosing to make the switch to commercial underfloor heating systems rather than radiator-based heating. In fact, at Pipelife we&#;re proud to have completed the installation of underfloor heating in a range of commercial premises, including 920 square metres of Qual-Pex Plus+ Easy-lay pipe in the Jaguar and Land Rover 14-car showroom in Bishopstown. The building is state-of-the-art and is thoroughly enjoying the benefits that commercial underfloor heating provides. But what are the benefits of underfloor heating? Read on to find out.
Commercial underfloor heating systems are vastly different from radiator systems in several ways, but one of the biggest differences is the way in which they spread heat. While a radiator system will heat a localised area around each radiator (leading to uneven heat distribution), underfloor heating systems work evenly across the entire floor surface. This creates a consistent temperature across the room and improves comfort levels, both for employees in office spaces or the shop floor and for customers browsing a showroom or other public space.
A key benefit of installing commercial underfloor heating is how low maintenance this kind of system is. Once installed, your system is designed to require as little maintenance as possible. There are no filters or ducts to worry about, and the need for bleeding the system is greatly reduced. The Qual-Pex Plus+ pipes that we use in our commercial underfloor heating installations are of top quality and we offer a 50-year guarantee as a testament to their quality.
Water-based commercial underfloor heating systems are widely known to be cost and energy-efficient to run. Because they operate at lower temperatures than radiator systems, they consume much less energy to generate the heat that they need to warm a building and consequently greatly reduce business heating costs at the same time.
The efficiency of a commercial underfloor heating system also offers huge environmental benefits. The fact that underfloor heating uses less energy than comparable radiator systems can be hugely significant for companies wanting to improve their corporate social responsibility and reduce their impact on the planet.
Furthermore, underfloor heating systems are perfect for installation alongside a heat pump system. This combination offers further environmental positives as heat pumps work by extracting heat from the air rather than by burning fossil fuels, allowing your business to enjoy all of the benefits of commercial underfloor heating without putting unnecessary strain on natural resources.
One of the less talked about benefits of underfloor heating is the effect that it has on the air quality of a building. Traditional heating systems are predisposed to circulating dust and other pollutants through the air, due to their use of air circulation to spread heat. As underfloor heating systems make use of radiant heat, the amount of air pollutants spread is vastly reduced by comparison. This will be a great benefit to your employees and customers.
