• Controllability – the heaters had to be simple for students to use and accurately controlled
• Efficiency – due to the nature of the accommodation, minimising running costs was very important
• Some areas required Low Surface Temperature Heaters
• Wifi-enabled for easy of controllability and also to suit the demographic of tenant
• Aesthetically pleasing to fit with the Architect’s vision for the Project

Product Evaluated & Chosen

The Sunray RF Thermal Electric Heater was able to meet all the requirements of this project. The landlord mode was deemed to be a key factor in choosing this heater. This feature allows the heaters to be programmed and controlled off-site by the bill payer. This enables the landlord to monitor the temperature for energy efficiency and avail of cost savings.
