What is Far Infrared?: A little
history first to refresh the history of heating
In modern homes we
mostly see forced air
systems, …..
“Radiators”, which primarily
operate as convection units, …..
www.prestylenergy.ca
The history….
…… difficult to repair “in-floor radiant” or
“Hydronic” Systems, and more recently,
expensive Geo-thermal systems. The latter
are plagued by severe climate related
limitations.
www.prestylenergy.ca
The history
When heating systems fail to perform and
people get cold they resort to using dangerous
and highly inefficient supplemental heating
units

Reliability and Quality
With eighteen years of development
the ILO film technology taken on
important task in its own applications
in trains, commercial wings for deicing,
in the last 4 years the film has taken
greater steps to become an intense
emitter in building heating applications,
unique in its characteristics.
www.prestylenergy.ca
FIR defined
The operating temperatures ranges of FIR must sit in specific
parameters.
FIR wavelength in Microns, 7.5-12 µm
Converted to quantitative measurement in Celsius, we are
looking at 7.5 µm = 110c, and 12 µm = (-)31c. (Using Wilhelm
Wien’s Peak Radiation Formula)
(The other end of the IR wavelength there is Near Infrared: 0.7
- 2 µm. Temperatures starts @ 0.7 µm = 3600c. e.g., the
Quartz Tungsten heat lamp range is aprox. 2600c = 1 µm.)
www.prestylenergy.ca
How do the panels do it?
Just like it is with the sun, Prestyl panels heats
the objects and people with soothing far-infrared
waves. The air temp increases from the objects
emitting some or all of the energy back. The floor,
walls, and furniture become additive heat sources.

Why is Prestyl so special?
The core of the panels is the
ILO film from France. A unique
proprietary alloy that features heating
characteristics not found in any other
competitor’s product.
www.prestylenergy.ca
Environmentally responsible
• Prestyl’s heaters are
constructed from pure,
100% recyclable highquality Aluminum rolls.
• 99% of the panels is recyclable
• 12 to 50% Utility $ due to lower energy
consumption, most importantly Off Grid
friendly due to its low w/sq’ sizing.

THE EFFECTS OF FIR ENVIROMENTS
HEALTH FACTS AND STUDIES
1) Far Infrared therapy increases blood circulation and oxygen supply to
damaged tissues (aiding reduction of chronic joint and muscle pain or
sport injuries), promotes relaxation and comfort, induces sleep and
relieves stress.
2) German medical researchers concluded one session of far infrared therapy
for over 1 hour can have significant reduction of blood pressure thanks to a
persistent peripheral vessels dilation. They also noted that blood viscosity was
improved. After 1 hour of far infrared radiance, there is a significant decrease
of blood pressure - cardiac ejection resistance - total peripheral resistance and significant increase of heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, and
ejection fraction (cardiovascular physiology ).
3) Sunburn - According to the Clayton's Electrotherapy, 9th Edition, far
infrared radiation is the only antidote to excessive ultraviolet radiation.
www.prestylenergy.ca
THE EFFECTS OF FIR ENVIROMENTS
HEALTH FACTS AND STUDIES
5)Recently there have been reports detailing the hazards of exposure to
certain kinds of (EMF)electromagnetic fields, such as those from high-tension
power lines, cell phones, or from computer display terminals.
Far Infrared heating systems have been tested in Japan and found free of
toxic electromagnetic fields. The Swedish National Institute of Radiation
Protection has also concluded that infrared heaters are not dangerous.
Instead, Japanese researchers have reported that far infrared radiant heat
antidotes the negative effects of toxic electromagnetic sources.
6)Far infrared ray (the FIR HotHouse), cure various illnesses and keep the
body fit. - 'The Scientific Basis and Therapeutic Benefits of Far Infrared Ray
Therapy', Dr. Kyuo.

HEALTH FACTS AND STUDIES
7) Therapeutic Effects of Far Infrared Heat - Chapter 9 of
Therapeutic Heat and Cold, Fourth Edition, Editors Justus F.
Lehmann, M.D., Williams, and Wilkin. Infrared Heat Therapy
does the following:
• Decreases joint stiffness.
• Relieves muscle spasms.
• Increases blood flow.
• Leads to pain relief.
• Affects soft tissue injury.
• Increases the extensibility of collagen tissue.
• Assists in resolution of inflammatory infiltrated, edema, and
exudes.
www.prestylenergy.ca
THE EFFECTS OF FIR ENVIROMENTS
HEALTH FACTS AND STUDIES
• The creation of a Japanese FIR Professional Association , Korea FIR
Professional Association and a most-recently incorporated Hong Kong FIR
Professional Association (as of 8/11/06) .
• 1998 Nobel Prize in Medicine Award Winners Murad, Furchgott & Ignaro
found that nitric oxide gas, which is produced by far infrared, is used by white
cells to defend against tumors and allows healing to take place.
• Dr. Valentino Fuster, past president of the American Heart Association, called
the nitric oxide discovery “one of the most important discoveries in the history of
cardiovascular medicine because it promotes expansion of the capillaries and
allows blood to increase circulation in the affected area and to then reduce the
risk of heart attacks and strokes.
www.prestylenergy.ca
THE EFFECTS OF FIR ENVIROMENTS
HEALTH FACTS AND STUDIES
• A 1999 publication by Dr. Horwitz strongly suggests that Far
Infrared produces nitric oxide gas, which aided in the recovery of
the five patients in a study, who could not get healing
conventionally. They had various diabetic problems and were not
able to heal, but they received the nitric oxide effect produced by
the FIR, and healing took place for all of them.

The Panels
• Prestyl offers its far-infrared heaters as
printed artworks (both standard and
custom prints) as well as ceilingmountable white, black or custom
colored architectural units.
• The standard is 120v or 240v plug-in, the 208 or 277
•
Volt units have a min order of 500 presently.
Also a flexible assembly is available to cover the cord, if required by code in
certain applications. E.g.. plenum drop ceilings spaces….
www.prestylenergy.ca
• Standard dimensions are 2’ x 2 ‘ and 2’ x 4’
(both are designed so that these would
also fit into standard suspended ceiling grids
found in North America.
• A larger 42” x 42” unit is also available.
• All can be hung via chain or ceiling/wall mounted.
www.prestylenergy.ca
Typical Installation
(single units)
• Single panels as “point of use”
plugged-in where heating is needed
• Typically, a switched outlet installed
behind the panel, controlled by an in
line-voltage thermostat.
• Line-voltage thermostats can also be
a separate plug-in unit.
(please contact your dealer, electrician or PEC for details)
www.prestylenergy.ca
One-person “on-ceiling” Installation
Rather than using a
helper, the purchasable
“S”-hook or a “home
made” hook, can be used
to suspend the panel
while the electrical
connection is made.
Either plugging in or hard
wiring.
www.prestylenergy.ca
“On-ceiling” Installation
1.
Insert the flat (longer)
lip of the bracket first
2.
Lift the panel towards
the ceiling and slide it
to engage the righthand side of the
bracket
3.
Lower the panel so it
will rest on the bracket,
and close the latches
(watch the latch slide
Latch
in)
www.prestylenergy.ca
Typical Installation (suspended Ceiling)
Depending on local codes, panels in a multi -panel system may be plugged into
thermostatically controlled outlets, or be hardwired.
Note:
Some local codes require optional flex conduit, if this is the case, panels must be ordered with
the “Flex-assembly option” , consultation required…

Certifications
All panels are: ETL listed and approved for residential and commercial
applications.
Conforms to UL STD 1278;
Certified to CSA STD C22.2 No. 46
Export panels comply with most international certifications, including
GS(Geprufte Sicherheit-”Tested Safety” Germany /EU), KEMA(Global “Energy
& Sustainability testing), NF(Norma Francais FR/EU/international standards
“meets safety and quality”), CE(Conformité Européenne- “Certified Quality”),
GOSTR(Gossandart Russian “Safety & A Mandatory Certificate).
www.prestylenergy.ca
System Sizing & Examples
• Maximum “Range” or Ceiling-height: <15’, 9’=(best,*)
• Typical installed power required per sq.ft : 3.7W – 5.5W
Note:
Taking in all variables to calculate the proper coverage is crucial. Never an
issue for oversizing except $, under-sizing looses the effectiveness of the
system. Using a “sizing calculator” that defines the relationship between
installed power, ceiling height, “loss factors” (such as doors/windows/structure),
and climate will assist to effectively size the areas.
Examples:
In a well-insulated home with and 8’ ceiling in Canada(R2000+),
3.7 Watts per square foot ; in very cold climates it could be up to 5.0W
per square foot. Including garages. All depends on building integrity.
Shops with O/H cranes would mount 45deg off perimeter wall, over the
working areas off the path of the ‘crane zone’.
www.prestylenergy.ca
Accessories & requirements
• Relays: Any suitable relay or contactor will work, we
recommends hybrid or electronic relays.
• Power supplies: AC or DC can be non inverted.
Caution: Proper sizing of the system must always be planned out and provide a single line
to the client for their electrical inspectors.
www.prestylenergy.ca
Accessories & requirements
(continued)
In-Line Thermostats:
• Thermostats with a “dry loop closure” on heat call
(typical “Heat only t-stats).
• A “set-back” thermostat. Unlike with forced air
heating, the thermostat should be set to activate at
night to store the heat in the mass, and set lower
during the day to save energy. If there is a “tier”
system of billing in your region.
www.prestylenergy.ca
Accessories & requirements
(continued)
• Relays per thermostat: please review the
specifications of the thermostats and relays selected
• Optional DIN-rails/Cabinets: Nowadays, many systems
are based on DIN rail standards. Size and design the
system with what is common for the location without
“recreating the wheel”

www.prestylenergy.ca
Building requirements
Like any other technology, Far-infrared (regardless of
manufacturer) is limited by the laws of nature/physics
• A building must be reasonably weather-tight and
sufficiently insulated
• A very important consideration is the floor;
The floor must be well insulated, especially around
the perimeter. If the concrete is wet, the area of the
building with the wet floor will not warm up until the
moisture has evaporated. The USE of Insulating paint
additives / vapour barrier and subfloor for a solution.
• If active water is present FIR will not work!
www.prestylenergy.ca
Building requirements (continued)
• If an office shared a slab floor with an unheated
warehouse, conduction to the unheated space will
require more panels than calculated.( insulated the subfloor in the office will solve this problem.)
• Buildings with old steel or aluminum single pane
windows conduct cold into the building and will need
to be fitted with storm windows or will require more
panels than calculated
• Never install fewer panels than calculated. More is
better, fewer panels means higher operating costs and
cold unhappy people.
