College expansion project warrants the use of infrared heaters

The demand for nurses is steadily climbing, and at Michigan State University a new building is being constructed to accommodate the need for more nursing students. Even though the university is located in the middle of the state, the cruel lake effect winds will wreak havoc for workers – particularly those stationed on the second or third floors. Infrared heaters are the perfect way for outdoor construction workers to counter the extremes of one of the coldest regions in the United States.

According to the university, the construction of the Bott Building, which includes two floors of research space and classrooms, will wrap up at the end of 2012. This will be the first building on campus to use ground-source geothermal energy for heating and cooling, which will harbor a more reliable means of warmth upon the completion of the project.

However, until the building is fully constructed the campus will want to utilize a heating system that is just as environmentally efficient as geothermal energy – but at a cheaper cost. Heat Storm infrared devices, cost less than 14 cents per hour, and are the most practical choice for any outdoor construction worker that is forced to contend with bitter temperatures on a year-round basis.
