"We looked at the house in January during a snowstorm and the realtor asked us to take off our shoes as we entered," says Noemi. "When we stepped on the radiant heated floors, it felt very nice. We knew we were going to like living here."

Radiant Cooling and Heating - Part I & Part II

55 second load on a high speed server - but well worth the wait...take a deep breath...hold ....and exhale....repeat one more time. While holding your breath, make note of the load progress in the lower left hand corner of your screen.

Radiant Cooling & Heating Application Principles


Heat Transfer Resistance Nodes for Evaluating Radiant System Designs.

Radiant uses conduction to heat or cool a mass such as a floor, then radiant to emit energy to cooler surface when heating or absorb energy from hotter surfaces when cooling.

Radiant energy transfer is a nominal 1.1 Btu/hr/sf * oF between the room and surface temperature.  Convection contributes to heat transfer for radiant heated floors or chilled ceilings but not chilled floors or heated ceilings...can you guess why?

This is a very big topic - if you have any questions please visits us at the online forum.
