Optimizing Building Efficiency and Thermal Comfort

Commercial boilers generate heat through the combustion of fuel and the transfer of thermal energy to water.

In North America, natural gas is the most common fuel type for commercial boiler systems, and the hot water they produce is frequently used for radiant or forced-air space heating.
