While radiant heating is a coveted upgrade in efficiency and comfort for new home design, residential radiant cooling is nearly unheard of.
While radiant heating is a coveted upgrade in efficiency and comfort for new home design, residential radiant cooling is nearly unheard of.
Typically designed in conjunction with radiant heating, radiant cooling systems circulate cooled fluid through the same network of PEX pipe used for heating, creating a cooled floor, wall or ceiling that can evenly absorb sensible heat energy. This includes radiant energy from solar gain, people, equipment, lights and computers, in addition to convective heat transfer from the air.
