Apparatus and method of heating and ventilating an enclosed area comprising a floor arranged as a number of floor zones. The method comprises providing a radiant heater spaced above each floor zone so as in use to direct heat downwards towards the floor; providing a ventilating air inlet spaced above at least part of each floor zone, the air inlet being at the same level as, or closer to, the floor than the radiant heater, the air inlet being arranged in use to draw-in a controllable quantity of air from outside of the enclosed area; providing a ventilating air outlet spaced above at least part of each floor zone, the air outlet being spaced further from the floor than the radiant heater and air inlet, the air outlet being arranged in use to extract a controllable quantity of air from inside of the enclosed area, wherein the method further comprises, for each floor zone, independently controlling the quantity of air being drawn in and extracted from said floor zone based on the sensed temperature inside and outside the enclosed space.
