www.healthyheating.com's is about indoor environmental quality with a key message that conditioning people through architecture and radiant based HVAC systems must be the focus of all design; as opposed to heating and cooling buildings. This
means before we even ask for construction specifications
we must understand the physiology and psychology of the
occupants. For this reason we have created a website to
equip visitors with valid information supported by recognized industry standards to help each of us specify the means and methods to create an interior environment based on health, wellness and comfort, focusing on what is important to us and not what is important to the structure.
It is also important to understand that radiant conditioning is not necessarily an electrical or mechanical solution since energy efficient architecture must be the first solution to prevent discomfort.
