Office Heat Pumps
Clade designs and delivers heat pump systems to provide efficient, low-carbon heating for office buildings. Engineered for commercial environments, our solutions replace or support traditional boiler systems while reducing energy use and emissions. Each system is carefully designed around the building’s heating demand, existing infrastructure and long-term sustainability goals, ensuring reliable performance and comfortable working environments throughout the year.
Clade’s Rowan 2 heat pump can provide either heating or cooling. Modern office buildings often require both as the seasons change so why not get both from a Rowan 2. The Rowan 2 can be arranged in a cascade format where each module can produce either heat or chill independently which is great for offices with glass walls that heat up too quickly whilst the back office is cool.
What Are Office Heat Pumps?
Office heat pumps are engineered heating systems that extract thermal energy from outside sources, such as air, ground or water, and transfer it into office heating networks. Unlike conventional boilers, they move heat rather than create it through combustion, resulting in higher efficiency and lower carbon emissions. Clade’s range of heat pumps for offices is designed for commercial environments with consistent heating demand, providing reliable warmth for occupant comfort and building operational needs. These systems can be integrated with radiators, underfloor heating or fan coil units, and are tailored through detailed engineering design to match real office load profiles.
Benefits of Using Heat Pumps for Office Buildings
Heat pumps offer offices a practical route to low-carbon, cost-effective heating without compromising comfort. Designed to align with modern workplace demands, they deliver efficiency, flexibility and long-term resilience across a wide range of commercial environments.
- Lower carbon impact: Significantly reduced operational emissions compared with gas and electric heaters, helping offices decarbonise heating while future-proofing against tightening environmental regulation.
- Reduced energy costs: High-efficiency heat transfer delivers more usable heat per unit of electricity, lowering running costs and improving energy performance across daily and seasonal office usage.
- Consistent thermal comfort: Precisely controlled heating output can be matched to occupancy patterns, zoning requirements, and peak demand periods to maintain stable, comfortable internal temperatures.
- Net zero alignment: Supports corporate sustainability strategies and net zero targets by enabling a clear shift away from fossil fuel heating within commercial property portfolios.
- Design flexibility: Suitable for both new office developments and retrofit projects, with system configurations that adapt to building constraints, layouts, and existing infrastructure.
- End-to-end delivery: Engineering expertise covering system design, installation, commissioning, and handover ensures performance, compliance, and long-term operational reliability.
How Do Office Heat Pumps Work?
Heat pumps harness ambient heat from the environment and upgrade it via a refrigeration cycle to deliver useful heat into the building’s heating circuit. The process uses electrical energy to move heat, producing more usable output than energy consumed and lowering overall emissions compared to traditional fossil-fuel heating systems.
Where Can Office Heat Pumps Be Used?
Clade’s heat pumps for office buildings are suitable in a range of commercial environments, including:
- Standalone offices and business parks
- Multi-storey office buildings
- Retrofit office refurbishments
- Open-plan and cellular office layouts
- Corporate campuses with centralised heating plant
Office Heat Pumps vs Conventional Heating Solutions
Traditional heating solutions for office buildings, such as gas boilers or electric heaters, generate heat through combustion or resistive elements. Clade’s office heat pumps instead move heat efficiently, resulting in lower energy use and carbon emissions. With advanced refrigerant technology and engineered controls, office heat pumps maintain stable performance through seasonal changes and deliver predictable, scalable heating for commercial workplaces.
