Speedheat Launches New Generation4
When Speedheat systems are installed throughout a home, users can easily reduce the thermostat by 10 degrees or more and still remain comfortable.
One unique 'green' product that is growing in popularity is electric radiant floor heating by Speedheat. Their Generation4 underfloor warming systems simultaneously promote health, conservation, safety and comfort, making them an ideal choice as a green building product. Although the concept of radiant heating has been around since Roman times, Speedheat has taken this technology to the highest level with their energy efficient systems that are installed directly under virtually any flooring material.
"Speedheat has always promoted conservation, efficiency, health and comfort," explains Pieter Jansens, Chairman of Speedheat International. "Since 1985, we have been educating consumers on the many benefits of electric radiant floor heating. Our proprietary G4™ systems are extremely efficient, so they help conserve energy, and they are powered by electricity, which is a renewable energy source. Speedheat's advanced floor warming systems also promote healthier environments and create luxurious warmth that enhances personal comfort. For all these reasons, Speedheat® is a smart choice to enhance green building initiatives."
Radiant Heating by Speedheat® is a Healthy Choice:
Green building and remodeling projects often address improving indoor air quality. In fact, poor indoor air quality is ranked as one of the top five environmental risks to public health by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Studies also indicate that air pollution inside the home can be two to five times higher (and occasionally 100 times higher) than the air outside the home.
Speedheat's Generation4 underfloor heating systems can help improve indoor air quality by reducing the levels of dust, pollen, mold, allergens and other pollutants spread by conventional forced air heating systems. The Department of Energy also says that radiant heating can be advantageous to people with severe allergies due to the lack of moving air.
Additionally, Speedheat's Generation4 systems provide optimum thermal comfort at lower temperatures than conventional forced air heating systems. Lower air temperatures contain a lesser amount of moisture, which helps prevent the growth of mold and reduces the level of other air pollutants, thereby creating a healthier environment.
Conserving Energy with G4 Systems is a Wealthy Choice:
The famous phrase "a penny saved, is a penny earned" certainly applies to energy conservation efforts. With heating costs continuing to rise, lowering the thermostat and installing energy efficient products and systems makes good fiscal sense from a green building standpoint.
In fact, the Radiant Heating and Cooling Handbook calculates that for every 10 degrees the thermostat is lowered, energy consumption is reduced by approximately 40 percent. While saving energy is desirable, staying comfortable is also important. With floor heating by Speedheat, consumers can enjoy the best of both worlds.
"Because Speedheat's Generation4 systems warm from the ground up, they produce evenly heated rooms that are more comfortable at lower temperatures," explains Peter Newman, President of Speedheat U.S. "When Speedheat® systems are installed throughout a home, users can easily reduce the thermostat by 10 degrees or more and still remain comfortable."
