Practical applications of radiant heating and cooling to maintain comfort conditions.

Author(s) : SIMMONDS P.

Summary

When designing comfortable workspaces, traditional design criteria such as dry-bulb temperature and operative temperature are not always sufficient. Using the predicted mean vote (PMV) as the design parameter, it becomes evident as to what system should be used to condition the space. The projects described in this paper show that the mean radiant temperature has a large influence on the comfort results. Therefore, the application of radiant heating and cooling panels would prove an optimal solution to the conditioning of the space within comfort limits (PMV more or less 0.5).
