By installing Sit & Heat seat heating on some stadium seats in the Business Club last weekend, PSV had an international first. The Business Club members were literally kept warm while enjoying the fantastic PSV - ADO Den Haag match.
The test with Sit & Heat at PSV was partly made possible by the Sustainable Eindhoven Foundation. Currently, heaters in the Philips Stadium hang from the roof, causing a lot of heat to be lost. Through the tests with Sit & Heat, PSV offers their Business members a little extra. Among other things, they can determine themselves how cold or warm they adjust their seats.
The heated cushions, which were tested on four Business Seats last Saturday, were developed by Sit & Heat. Sit & Heat developed heat cushions as an answer to energy-inefficient and uncomfortable heaters. The heat pads save 95% of energy as the heat does not have to travel any distance to the users. The energy is thus no longer lost to the outside air. Moreover, Sit & Heat seat heaters increase comfort by heating the users' bodies and the heat can be individually controlled.
For companies, the Sit & Heat seat heating is a great way to differentiate themselves from other sponsors. They can offer more comfort and show through a logo on the cushions that they have seats in the stadium. Ronald Kooistra, Manager Commercial Affairs, Service and Events: "Hospitality is a high priority for us. In winter days, that includes heated seating. Through this trial with Sit & Heat, we are looking at how we can provide our Business members, and in the future also supporters, with every convenience during matches."
Last weekend, users were also delighted with the comfortable and warm chairs. Hennie Maas of Maas im- export b.v.: "To my surprise, we had the Sit & Heat on trial. It worked so well that I could even take off my jacket. So my opinion is: Do it!".
Stichting Duurzaam Eindhoven and Sit & Heat hope that, after this successful trial, the cooperation with Philips Stadium can be continued and that more stadiums will see the benefit of seat heating so that the era of energy-inefficient heaters will come to an end.
