Human beings normally feel the average temperature of the surrounding surfaces such as wall, roof, floor, and air. Not just the air temperature as perceived. Radiant cooling system works on the principle of cooling the surrounding surface to do the space cooling. These systems can easily save 20%–40% energy as compared to a conventional cooling system. Want to know more about it?
Here, you have a training module on radiant cooling systems that covers the basic principles of heat exchange, radiant cooling system types, working principle, its application, sizing calculations, moisture handling, integration with overall HVA system, design and performance evaluation, a tutorial on modelling these systems in ‘DesignBuilder’, and a few case studies.
