How does Climaboard® compare to “split unit” or ducted warm air systems?
“Split unit” combined air conditioning and warm air convector heaters and also ducted warm air systems typically emit air near the ceiling, wasting much of the warm air. As far as humans comfort is concerned heat above head height is waste heat. Waste heat = wasted energy. Because warm air rises heating at floor level makes sense. Climaboard® takes advantage of the Coanda effect in which the warm air rises naturally along the wall forming a moving curtain of warm air that acts as an insulating layer.
