In today’s commercial environments, comfort is more than a luxury, it’s a productivity driver. Whether it's a corporate office, healthcare facility, or educational institution, maintaining optimal indoor temperatures year-round is essential for employee wellbeing, client satisfaction, and operational efficiency.
Central Heating New Zealand is redefining climate control in commercial spaces with integrated hydronic cooling systems that deliver silent, efficient, and scalable solutions tailored to modern building demands.
Why Hydronic Cooling Makes Sense for Commercial Spaces
Unlike traditional HVAC systems, CHNZ’s hydronic cooling solutions use chilled water circulated through radiant surfaces or fan coils to regulate indoor temperatures. This approach offers several commercial advantages:
- Energy Efficiency: Radiant systems operate at higher chilled water temperatures, reducing energy consumption.
- Silent Operation: No noisy compressors or disruptive airflow, ideal for offices, meeting rooms, and healthcare settings.
- Design Flexibility: Systems can be embedded in floors, walls, or ceilings, preserving architectural aesthetics.
- Dual Functionality: Heating and cooling from the same infrastructure, reducing installation complexity and cost.
Tailored Cooling Technologies for Commercial Needs
CHNZ offers two primary cooling technologies, each suited to different commercial applications:
Radiant Cooling Systems
Perfect for Schools, Daycares & open-plan offices, and high-end commercial interiors, radiant cooling provides gentle, invisible comfort by cooling surfaces rather than air.
- In-slab underfloor cooling: Ideal for new builds with concrete floors.
- VarioComp panel underfloor system: Fast-reacting and lightweight, perfect for retrofits or timber structures.
- ModuleWall & ModuleCeiling panels: High-performance radiant surfaces for targeted cooling zones.
These systems allow occupants to feel comfortable at higher air temperatures and allow for indoor outdoor foot traffic while reducing energy use while maintaining productivity.
Active Cooling Systems
For spaces requiring precise temperature control and rapid response, CHNZ’s fan coil-based active cooling systems are the solution.
- Surface-mounted fan coils: Easy to retrofit, ideal for individual offices or meeting rooms.
- Built-in fan coils: Discreet and powerful, integrated into walls or joinery.
- Ducted fan coils: Whole-building solutions with centralized control and high airflow capacity.
These systems are ideal for environments where humidity control and air filtration are critical, such as medical clinics or IT server rooms.
