Infrared heaters and their use in Alaska hospital construction

In Anchorage, Alaska, a $150 million project has commenced major renovations on the Providence Alaska Medical Center. According to the Homer News, construction is scheduled to last until December of 2014, and many of the workers will be exposed to the swiftly changing temperatures of Alaska – they will definitely need a reliable source of heat, such as outdoor infrared devices.

Currently the hospital has only six private rooms for patients to spend time with their sick infants, but this new project will tackle that problem by boosting the number to 50. Much of the existing perimeter of the hospital will be remodeled, whereas an additional 82,782 square feet will be assembled to provide for the increasing demand.

Especially in the winter months, when it seems as if the sun will never rise in Alaska, the construction workers are going to need a heating system that has the capacity to run nonstop.

Heat Storm infrared devices are much more energy efficient than the standard heater, and their targeted supply of warmth will not take days to provide the intended level of comfort.
