Heating for NGV service area

Heating for NGV service area

Heating for NGV service area

(OP)
Looking for advice for the best way to heat an auto shop that wants to service natural gas fueled vehicles.

Shop is in Dallas, TX so the heating requirements aren't huge.

RE: Heating for NGV service area

I would say a ducted direct fired make-up air handling unit with a separate exhaust.  If they are working on engines you have to exhaust by code anyways.  Use the unit for both make-up air and for heating.

If it's new construction, add in some radiant in-floor heating or infrared heating.  Depends how much they want to spend.

RE: Heating for NGV service area

Hydronic Radiant floor heat - energy efficient, explosion-proof, and comfortable for the mechanics.  Also check NFPA-88B and NFPA-30A for Code stuff.
