Modelling radiant systems in an integrated heat balance based energy simulation program.

Summary

With the release of new energy simulation software (EnergyPlus) by the US Department of Energy in 2001, architects and engineers are now able to make system performance comparisons using a fundamentally sound tool that will be widely available to the public. The paper discusses the capabilities of the new programme with respect to radiant systems and provides information on the heat balance method itself and the new radiant model usage, development, and limitations.
