Sitting in the conservatory on a bright and clear Autumn day can make us all feel happier and healthier, as well as warm. But why is it this crisp and chilly outdoor air can make us feel so good? The cat knows the answer, she lies in the winter sun underneath a warm brick wall absorbing the suns infrared energy, this stimulates the metabolism and immune system making her feel happy and healthy.

The sun gives off infrared energy, even on cold days, this passes through space and converts to heat energy when absorbed by us, the cat, or other objects. Once warmed all objects have the ability to give off infrared heat energy which will inturn create a more comfortable and warm environment. Infrared is purely a heating effect on objects and people without the need to heat up the air in between.
