Radiant Heating
Radiant heating systems supply heat directly to the floor or to panels in the wall or ceiling of a house. The systems depend largely on radiant heat transfer -- the delivery of heat directly from
In summary, this new profile enables the floor to act as a thermal energy storage device. The floor is preheated to 26 °C between midnight and 8 AM. Then, it continues to radi-ate heat to the indoor space during the day, even after the setpoint is lowered to 18 °C and the heating system is shut off.
Creating one of the most comfortable and economical heating systems available, our Earth Thermal Storage Electric Radiant Heating System is an under-concrete slab (sometimes called “under-floor”, “in-ground” and “ground storage”) heating system installed in soil or sand under a concrete slab building foundation.
While an exact number is dificult to pinpoint, using the floor as a heat storage de- vice was estimated to reduce by 11 kW the building's peak electric load in the morning – this represents 6.8% of the building's total electric load (160 kW).
The proposed guidelines for radiant floor heating systems lead to utility cost savings when the electricity tarification includes “peak demand” charges or time-of-use rates. In commercial and institutional buildings, radiant floors are an eficient heating system for large areas such as gymna-sia and warehouses.
