What is the difference between infrared heaters and infrared heat lamps (infrared radiators)?
Infrared heaters are designed to heat a room or space by emitting infrared radiation that warms objects and people directly, similar to the sun's rays. They are typically used for whole-room heating and are more energy-efficient than traditional heaters. Infrared heat lamps, on the other hand, are focused on providing localized heat to specific areas or objects, such as in outdoor spaces, bathrooms, or for therapeutic purposes. They emit infrared radiation in a more concentrated manner and are often used for spot heating rather than whole-room heating.
-
Is infrared radiation harmful?
Infrared radiation is generally not harmful to humans in small doses. It is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is commonly used in various applications such as heating, cooking, and communication. However, prolonged exposure to high levels of infrared radiation can potentially cause skin burns or eye damage. It is important to use protective measures, such as wearing appropriate clothing or using shielding, when working with sources of intense infrared radiation.
-
Is infrared radiation dangerous?
Infrared radiation is generally not considered dangerous to humans in normal everyday exposure. It is a form of non-ionizing radiation, which means it does not have enough energy to cause damage to cells or DNA. However, prolonged and intense exposure to infrared radiation, such as from industrial sources or prolonged sun exposure, can cause skin burns and damage. It is important to use protective measures, such as sunscreen and protective clothing, when exposed to intense sources of infrared radiation.
-
Can snakes see infrared?
No, snakes cannot see infrared. While some snakes have specialized pit organs that can detect infrared radiation, they do not actually "see" it in the way that humans see visible light. Instead, these pit organs allow snakes to sense the heat given off by warm-blooded prey, helping them to locate and hunt their food. This ability to detect infrared radiation is an important adaptation for many species of snakes.

Komodo Infrared 75W - Infrared Heating Bulb
About Komodo brand heating bulbs:Each model of Komodo brand heating bulb combines the advantages of many different bulbs; such as heating spot, infrared and neodymium. The individual models (Basking Spot, Daylight Spot, Moonlight, Infrared) differ in the balance between visible light for humans and reptiles and the emission of infrared and UVA waves. Combining the advantages of multiple products makes it possible to replace several bulbs with one. About theInfrared bulb:The bulb emits not much visible light. The weak red light, visible to humans, is almost invisible to most reptiles and amphibians. You can therefore peep at the animal at night and, without stressing the animal, heat the terrarium around the clock. The powerful infrared beam provides excellent heating, which also reaches and warms the animal from the inside.The Infrared bulb does not emit UVA and UVB light beams and is therefore suitable for animals with daytime and night-time lifestyles.Infrared as a percentage:Considering efficiency and wavelength emission, it is possible to assume a certain percentage of the various bulb characteristics in one Basking Spot in order to better illustrate the balance of advantages. The proportions would fall at 30% spot heating bulb, 70% infrared bulb, 0% neodymium heating bulb.For which animals the infrared bulb is dedicated:- all turtles- all chameleons- all snakes- all desert and tropical reptilesCompatibility with other devices:The bulb is compatible with all thermostats and thermoregulators (dimmer). Especially recommended:- Komodo dimming thermostat thermostat with dimmer - Terrario ReptiSun lamp with clip and control- Ringder THC and AC- Repti-Zoo THC of all series Technical data:- bulb wattage: 75W- standard e27 thread- colour temperature 4500K- dimensions: 11cm x 6.5cm (with thread)- manufacturer: UKKomodo - present in the UK market for 20 years.

Evaluation of the Built Environment for Sustainability
Sustainability in the built environment is a major issue facing policy-makers, planners, developers and designers in the UK, Europe and worldwide.The measuring of buildings and cities for sustainability becomes increasingly important as pressure for green, sustainable development translates into policy and legislation.The problems of such measurement and evaluation are presented by the authors in contributions which move from the general to the particular, e.g. from a general framework for an environmentally sustainable form of urban development to a specific input-output model application to environmental problems.The book is divided into three parts: the first covers city models and sustainable systems - research programmes, environmental policies, green corporations and collaborative strategies to make urban development more sustainable; part two discusses the problems of evaluating the built environment in planning and construction, covering economic and environmental methods and construction, development and regeneration processes; part three illustrates a number of applications using different approaches and techniques and referring to a range of environmental aspects of the natural and built environment, from maintaining historic buildings to transport management and air pollution monitoring.

An Introduction to Environment, Society and Sustainability
This timely and innovative book delves into the complex interplay of human activities and natural limits in generating today’s sustainability challenges.By contrasting the pressures of growing populations with ecological footprints associated with consumption, the volume navigates the contested terrain where human societies generate environmental impacts. Adorned with illustrative figures, examples and case studies throughout, this book presents insightful analysis of ecological, economic, technological, and social justice responses to the challenges faced by human civilization, including land degradation, climate change, pollution, and overexploitation of natural resources.Many of these issues are wicked problems, characterized by incomplete information, multiple stakeholders, and contested approaches to addressing them.In simple terms, sustainability issues are an interplay between population growth and rising consumption, which are placing impossible demands on finite resources.Potential solutions to the crisis are split between green growth approaches that emphasize technology and institutional capacity to guide economic growth in more sustainable ways, and degrowth approaches that call for a fundamental rethinking of the way we structure society and generate value.This book emerged from a student seminar where undergraduate and graduate students highlighted sustainability topics of concern, helped consider their framing, and then assisted with co-writing several of the chapters.The volume encourages readers to consider structural questions that underpin sustainability dilemmas, and begins with four theoretical frameworks for understanding sustainability issues: ideas from the natural sciences, the population/consumption debate, economic frameworks, and ethical approaches.It then uses a systems approach to apply these theoretical ideas to complex global systems such as the atmosphere, oceans, and agriculture. This volume will be of pivotal interest to students, scholars and academics in the fields of environmental studies, environment and society, human geography and environmental geography, as well as those with an interest in these areas more generally.

Can one distinguish recycling from downcycling and upcycling?
Yes, one can distinguish recycling from downcycling and upcycling. Recycling involves processing used materials into new products of the same or similar quality, while downcycling involves converting materials into products of lower quality. Upcycling, on the other hand, involves creating new products of higher quality or value from used materials. Each of these processes has different environmental and economic impacts, with upcycling generally being the most sustainable option.
-
Can one distinguish between recycling, downcycling, and upcycling?
Yes, one can distinguish between recycling, downcycling, and upcycling. Recycling involves breaking down materials to create new products of equal or lesser quality. Downcycling refers to the process of turning materials into products of lower quality. Upcycling, on the other hand, involves transforming waste materials into products of higher value or quality. Each process plays a different role in the circular economy and sustainability efforts.
-
Underfloor heating or infrared heating?
Both underfloor heating and infrared heating have their own advantages and disadvantages. Underfloor heating provides a more consistent and even heat distribution throughout the room, while infrared heating is more energy-efficient and heats objects directly. The choice between the two would depend on factors such as the size of the room, the desired level of comfort, and energy efficiency goals. Ultimately, it is important to consider your specific needs and preferences when deciding between underfloor heating and infrared heating.
