How is it
possible that one thermostat in a house (which measure air
temperature) can come close to telling the HVAC systems
what it is you (your body) is actually experiencing?
Your Skin - Your Sensor
Expecting even the most expensive 'retail'
thermostat to compete with thousands of skin sensors which
measure radiant, conductive and evaporative losses is...well just plain silly! |
This site is for you... We created this not-for-profit industry service site
to help you the
consumer,
contractor, architect and
designer to
understand the benefits
of
indoor environmental quality enhanced by
radiant based heating, ventilation
and air conditioning systems in energy efficient
buildings. We also communicate radiant based control can be architectural and does not always include mechanical or electrical solutions; although there are many benefits with mechanical or electrical based floor, wall and ceiling radiant systems. Let's give you an example of some of the things you'll learn at www.healthyheating.com.
Skin Area vs. Thermostats
(click the image)
Here's why the typical $20 thermostat is a very poor, barbaric,
rudimentary representative of our body to the HVAC system.
That's right - the thermostat is our representative. It's supposed to tell the HVAC system what we are feeling.
The disconnect - there are literally tens of thousands of (appx. 166,000) sensors embedded in our
skin...think about that for a second...$20 bucks for a thermostat which is supposed to be accurately telling the HVAC system what your 166,000 sensors are picking up.
Does this make sense to you? It doesn't make sense to us either...
But it's perfectly logical to most in the construction industry who want to heat the
building. We're totally against conditioning buildings -
we're about conditioning your body - that's our #1 message, ...completely different.
If you really want indoor environmental quality you have to start thinking about your human
physiology and put aside the building and HVAC system for a moment...
Words of Wisdom
"It was really nice to attend your seminar in Kingston. As
always, very informative and very enjoyable. I was just
reflecting on the 166,000 sensors embedded in the skin and when
I looked up the list price for a floor sensor, it priced out at
$51.00 each. That's a whopping $8,466,000 or $423,300 per sq.
ft." Mike Lampkin
Mike's words makes you think about the value of your body's control system.
So how much did you want to budget for your HVAC system?
