US-based furniture designer, manufacturer and distributor Maria Yee, Inc. has opened a new manufacturing campus in Hunan, which is said to be the first plant in China to exclusively employ energy-efficient hydronic radiant heating. The hydronic system circulates water heated by low-emission boilers through a series of pipes, thus eliminating the exhaust associated with forced-air heating systems and requiring significantly less energy to heat the 350,000 square-foot factory.
