Track: Research Summit
Sponsor: 6.5 Radiant Heating and Cooling
Chair: Paul Raftery, Ph.D., Affiliate, Center for the Built Environment, Berkeley, CA
Radiant cooling and heating systems are gaining in popularity and applications as they have the potential to provide energy efficiency and thermal comfort benefits. However, there are many unanswered questions regarding appropriate best practice for design, sizing and control. This seminar reports on recent research on the topic, including the effects of direct solar on radiant chilled floors and the effects of night-time precooling of thermally massive radiant systems.
