Within the main train care shed Zehnder ZBN radiant heating panels have been installed to ensure a comfortable indoor working environment for the employees.

Commenting on their installation, Stuart Lowe, Technical Director for Jacobs explains, “When designing the heating system for what is an extremely large space, our two key considerations were the thermal comfort of those working within the shed throughout the year, plus the need for an energy-efficient system to help keep heating costs down. Because radiant technology has a direct heating effect on the people and surfaces within the space, and does not require all the air within the building to be heated, it provided us with the ideal energy efficient and cost effective solution.”
