during the generation and supply of hot water.” Space in co-working environments is at a premium; a reduction in usable floor space results in fewer desks and subsequently, fewer customers.


Mr Murray argues: “Specifiers should be mindful of space in shared offices. Careful consideration should be paid to the variations between boilers and hot water heaters. For instance, a boiler coupled with a calorifier could require on average around 8m2of floorspace, whereas a typical water heater would only need around 2m2 of space.” Office roofs are increasingly becoming an attractive place for water heater installations.


of space. But this comes with its own restrictions,” Mr Murray says. “Specifiers will need to check that the roof can cope with the weight of the water – in this instance a water heater is going to weigh less than a boiler and a calorifier.”


“Investment management company, JLL, predicts that 30% of all commercial office space will be shared by 2030. With this in mind, specifiers can get ahead of the curve by specifying an energy- efficient equipment to keep costs low, efficiencies high, and customer satisfaction levels at an optimum level,” he concludes.
