Gorilla Events | Nottingham

Commercial Infrared Heating

Mar 13, 2023

Before installation, Gorilla Events relied on conventional convection heaters that struggled to heat their varied office spaces effectively. The mix of open-plan areas, meeting rooms, and production spaces meant heating demand often changed throughout the day, making temperature management inconsistent and inefficient.

As a creative agency working in the live events sector, Gorilla Events required a modern, flexible heating solution that matched their dynamic workflow — one that could adapt quickly to changing occupancy, provide zoned control, and maintain a comfortable working environment without excessive running costs.

They sought a stylish, low-maintenance, and sustainable system that would complement their modern interior design while offering precise control from any location.

Objectives:

Provide efficient, responsive heating for a multi-use office environment.

Reduce energy consumption and improve comfort across all work zones.
Enable flexible, zoned control from smart devices.
Ensure fast warm-up times to match a fast-moving workplace.
Deliver a clean, modern aesthetic suitable for an open office.
