Parking garage goes infrared to melt away snow and salt issues
During construction of the 190-unit, 15-story JeffJack Apartments building in downtown Chicago, the owner sought an effective method to prevent snow and ice build-up on the building’s parking garage ramps during winter. Infrared heaters helped to pave the way.
Situated on the corner of Jefferson and Jackson streets, the JeffJack building features an open-air, naturally ventilated two-level parking garage. One side of the garage features a chain link fence wall that opens the space to the elements.
