Radiant panel heating has matured from the darling of the hydronics industry in the 1990s into a respected technology that can provide excellent comfort in a wide range of applications.
Many of you have designed and/or installed at least one radiant panel system. In most cases, those systems covered most of the available floor area in each room with some type of radiant panel construction detail: Slab-on-grade, thin-slab, tube-and-plate, etc. This has become standard practice in the industry. It works well when radiant floor heating is installed in buildings with average heating loads.
