RP-394 -- A Study to Determine Methods for Designing Radiant Heating and Cooling Systems PDF

The goal of this study was to obtain design data and relevant manufacturers data concerning the design procedures for radiant heating and cooling systems. A comprehensive literature search was conducted which resulted in an annotated bibliography with over 250 entries. This bibliography was subdivided into the following sections: load analysis and modeling, convection coefficients, comfort conditions, radiant thermal comfort, floor panels, panel heating and cooling, infrared heating, design procedures, energy consumption, transient effects, controls, and spot heating and cooling.
