Zehnder ZBN Ceiling Heating and Cooling System Technical ...

For the building owner, the initial
capital equipment cost is often the
greatest concern. However, ever
increasing energy prices are now a
significant factor and running costs
of any heating or cooling system
must be considered.
Investment costs
The investment costs for the heating
and cooling of buildings depend on
various conditions:
❚ Heating and cooling load
❚ System temperatures
❚ Energy distribution system
❚ Energy source
❚ Demands for comfort
❚ Building construction
❚ Architectural requirement
❚ etc.
Thanks to their high specific outputs,
Zehnder ZBN radiant heating panels
offer a decisive advantage with
regard to their investment costs.
With minimal surface areas, the
maximum output is achieved – at
optimum comfort levels, with
aesthetics to compliment the
application.
Energy costs
The energy costs depend mainly on
the type of the system and the energy
source. The biggest cost factor is
an inefficient heat distribution in
the room. If, in addition, a system
requires driving energy, e.g. for fans,
there are additional electrical power
costs. In the case of variants such
as air systems or gas radiators,
there are additional expenses from
maintenance and upkeep.
Zehnder ZBN radiant ceiling panels
are particularly efficient, saving more
than 40 % energy in comparison to
other systems. Numerous installations
of Zehnder ZBN proove this fact daily.
The cost benefits at a glance:
❚ More than 40 % energy saving is
possible
❚ No extra power costs for forced
heat distribution
❚ No cost for maintenance and
upkeep
❚ High specific outputs of the radiant
ceiling panels
