An investigation into sustainable patio heaters for the Perch Restaurant ; Patio heaters
This report is an investigation into potential methods of supplying heat to the Perch restaurant’s patio in an economical, sustainable, and socially responsible manner. The aim of our research is to reduce carbon emissions emitted through heating methods in order to meet the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification for the AMS Student Nest, and achieve UBC’s sustainability goals. The stakeholder for this project is Chiyi Tam, the AMS Sustainability Coordinator. The amount of heat required must match or exceed the amount needed for 80-90 seats. Instead of calculating heat output per area, the quantity of each heater needed was calculated by taking the proximity of each heater to each customer into account. Bioethanol burners and electric infrared heaters were chosen to be suitable products to investigate for heating the patio. To ensure that the recommended mechanism was effective, each product was compared to the traditional propane patio heater. This comparison was conducted by investigating a standard model of each heater: the Endless Summer® Stainless Steel Propane Patio Heater, the Ecosmar⁺ᵗᵐ Fire AB3 Bioethanol Burner, and the PARAMOUNT⁺ᵗᵐ Offset Pole Mounted Stainless Steel Infrared Patio Heater. By not only comparing the environmental impacts, but also the economic and social impacts in a triple bottom line assessment, the best heating choice for the Perch's patio was uncovered. The result of the investigation was that electric infrared heaters stood to be the most environmentally friendly with no emissions coming from the actual product, and only 5t of CO₂/GWh coming from the production of electricity. The chosen model also stood to be the most cost effective with its implementation having a $3192.00 total upfront cost for eight infrared heaters and an additional $999.94/year for operating costs. In the social aspect, the electric heaters need to be implemented carefully because of limited space, and wire tripping hazards. It is recommended that the AMS Student Perch install 8 PARAMOUNT⁺ᵗᵐ Offset Pole Mounted Stainless Steel Infrared Patio Heaters onto the patio of the restaurant in order to be more sustainable and extend the patio season.
