Zehnder provides heating solution for Knock Basilica

Zehnder has provided a cost and energy efficient heating solution for the refurbished Knock Basilica in County Mayo, Ireland. A large building with challenging design features, a solution was needed to ensure the refurbished building was sufficiently heated, especially during the colder winter months where the building was only frequented intermittently.

M&E Consultants IN2 Engineering were hired in conjunction with A&D Wejchert Architects to design a heating system to control the indoor climate.

The task for Zehnder was to implement a Low Pressure Hot Water (LPHW) radiant solution, to be integrated in the ceiling to heat the space. LPHW Radiant panels were the preferred choice for this project as radiant panels do not heat the air, they heat the surfaces or objects they reflect on and in turn, those objects or surfaces act as radiant panels.

Zehnder and Versatile provided a solution which complemented the Basilica’s unique design, integrating radiant panels into the curved ceiling sails, contributing to the absorption of noise as well as heating the congregation space effectively and rapidly.
