Some radiant systems can be used for both radiant heating and cooling, although an under-floor system isn’t practical for cooling since cool air sinks. Instead, a geothermal cooler or chilling unit ...

Our thanks to hydronic engineer par excellence Robert Bean for bringing this to our attention. An engineering paper on the offices of an Indian IT company demonstrates that radiant cooling is cheaper ...

Active radiant cooling is a promising strategy for outdoor thermal comfort, but there are practicality and safety concerns with the typically opaque and dark structures that are needed. A team of UCLA ...

The partnership will launch with a demonstration home located in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. The home also has a whole-home proactive IAQ system and radon detector to ensure healthy air, as ...

Radiant heating is about as natural of a heat source as there is. Radiation is a form of heat we experience daily when we step outside and feel the heat of the sun. The sun’s radiant heat feels great ...

Air to water heat pumps are being introduced and recommended within the HVAC industry. Promoted by governments through sweet financial incentives, electrically-powered, super-efficient heat pump ...

Radiant heating and cooling systems have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional air-based technologies due to their potential to deliver superior thermal comfort while markedly reducing ...

Which are the best radiant heaters? When the days get colder and your utility bills soar, it’s a good idea to have extra heating help on hand. A space heater is a great solution for times when you ...

A team of UCLA engineers and researchers has developed a new technique to make it feel up to 10 degrees Fahrenheit cooler outside while preserving a sense of safe and open space. As climate change ...

This electric heating method warms up a space more quickly and is the perfect option for people who don’t want the noise (and dust) of a fan. And because an electric radiant heater won’t dry out a ...
