Atlant likes to work on improvements. For the quality of life of the people it supports but also for sustainable developments. This is why Atlant has started using heat pads to investigate whether this can have a positive effect on the well-being of the residents and staff while saving on energy costs.
Investing in sustainability
With the ambition to create awareness on sustainability, Atlant started investing in sustainable solutions in 2016. For example, solar panels, composting machines and charging stations have been installed at various locations. This year, heating large spaces will be addressed. Because within a care institution, how can you offer everyone the right temperature, in a comfortable and as energy-efficient way as possible?
Everyone the right temperature
Older people like to have the heating set a degree higher. While for employees it is sometimes more pleasant to work in a lower temperature. To ensure that Atlant meets the wishes of clients and employees, Atlant is starting to heat through direct contact with the heat source. A pleasant way of heating, allowing the thermostat to be set a few degrees lower. This, of course, also has benefits for energy costs.
Energy-efficient
Sit & Heat's heated cushions consume only 40Watt per seat and are equipped with a sensor. The cushions heat from the seat and from the back. By heating the torso, your entire body stays at temperature. The cushions have a control button that allows clients to decide for themselves how warm they want it to be.
