Summary

Radiant panel heating systems use underfloor or ceiling-mounted water distribution to supply heat or cooling. Underfloor heating reduces heat demand by providing comfortable conditions at a lower temperature. Furthermore, by operating at a much lower water supply temperature than conventional hydronic systems, it allows heat pumps to meet heat demand at lower outside temperatures. This reduces or eliminates the need for a supplementary boiler and improves efficiency (COP). Ceiling-mounted radiant panels offer similar advantages for cooling.
