Infrared heating for schools and nurseries
One of the biggest mistakes we see today is schools and nurseries heating every classroom as though it's occupied all day. Classrooms, offices, music rooms, libraries and sports halls follow different schedules. Some remain unused for parts of the day and don't require non-stop heating.
Infrared allows rooms and zones to be controlled independently, so heating can follow use and occupancy, term dates and changing requirements.
Heat your rooms with ceiling mounted smart infrared and save space and energy
Infrared heating creates comfortable, uncluttered learning environments while reducing reliance on accessible radiators and portable heaters that occupy valuable wall and floor space.
Our KORE P-Series ceiling-mounted infrared panels provide a practical option for classrooms, nurseries and early years spaces. They operate quietly and protect student from any direct contact with heated surfaces.
In mobile classrooms, offices and reception areas, schools may rely on several oil-filled radiators or fan heaters and still struggle to achieve comfortable temperatures quickly and cost effectively.
A correctly specified fixed infrared system can remove floor-level appliances, introduce scheduled control and direct warmth towards the occupied areas, saving money at the same time.
Why is infrared increasingly the educated heating choice:
Schools and nurseries place different demands on heating than almost any other commercial building.
Infrared's flexibility, versatility, operational agility and cost savings are increasingly making it the educated and informed choice for single classrooms and major multi-room projects alike.
Infrared improves day-to-day running and saves money
- Room-by-room scheduling and zones
- Smart controls and multi user setup
- Installation without major pipework
- Minimal ongoing maintenance
- Discreet ceiling integration
- Ceiling-mounted and out of reach
Planning infrared strategies for your school or nursery
Optimising your heating strategy depends on the rooms, ceiling height, insulation, required output, and the number of heaters involved. Straightforward individual spaces may suit the KORE P-Series, while multi-room or technically coordinated requirements are supported through KIASA Projects.

We provide access to project-exclusive products, supported by heating layouts, control strategies and wiring guidance.
Best suited for:
- Independent nurseries or and smaller settings
- Multiple classrooms or mobile buildings
- Sports hall and higher-ceiling spaces
- Phased heating upgrades with multi-zone
- Academy and trust-wide requirements
We'll Help You Get the Specification Right
Our experience across hundreds of infrared heating projects has shown that successful education schemes begin with understanding the building, not simply choosing a heater.
[01] Accordingly, our UK technical team works with:
estates and maintenance teams, school business managers, electrical contractors and leadership teams.
[02] Before recommending the appropriate route we consider:
room size, ceiling height, insulation, occupancy, existing heating, electrical capacity, controls and the available installation window
[03] For qualifying projects, KIASA can provide:
product layouts, control strategies and wiring guidance to support technical review and financial approval.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Ceiling-mounted infrared panels can be positioned out of reach, operate quietly and are available in lower-surface-temperature designs for child-occupied spaces. KIASA considers the room's use, product type, mounting height, controls and electrical requirements before recommending the appropriate system.
Individual rooms and zones can follow term dates and occupancy schedules. Any frost-protection requirements to protect building-fabric should be considered before heating is switched off completely.
In most cases, yes. Because infrared is an electrical installation with no major pipework, projects can often be completed during holiday periods with minimal disruption.
Yes. We provide practical specification guidance and supporting documentation to help schools and nurseries make informed investment decisions.
Larger, higher-ceiling spaces require a project-led assessment of heat loss, mounting height, occupancy, electrical capacity and control requirements. KIASA Projects will recommend the appropriate products and layout for the building.
