Summary

The results show that a building equipped with a radiant cooling system can be operated in any US climate with a low risk of condensation. For the office space examined in the study, employing a radiant cooling system instead of a traditional all-air system can save an average 30% of the energy consumption and 27% of the peak power demand due to space conditioning. Concludes that the savings potential is climate-dependent, and is larger in retrofitted buildings than in new construction.
