Engineers selected Jaga’s trench and wall-mounted convectors for their durability and ability to react quickly to temperature changes. Jaga’s low-temperature solutions were also safer and more cost-effective compared to traditional radiant panels. This helped offset costs incurred when buildings encountered soil problems during the initial phase of construction.
