TH16T4 Summary: All heating systems have a single purpose: make the inside of your home comfortably warm. Forced hot air systems are the most common heating systems in the US today, and they can reliably make an otherwise cold home warm. But as they heat, they also blow dust, allergens, and hot air around. They produce uneven noisy heat, and waste energy in a number of ways. For two thousand years, radiant floor heating has been considered the pinnacle in heating comfort. Radiant heat is more comfortable, more energy efficient and is easily able to integrate with alternative and renewable technologies (geothermal, thermal, solar and fuel cells). Typically radiant heating is 20%-40% more energy efficient than conventional forced air heating. Participants will learn about radiant floor heating and its extensive history. The numerous benefits of radiant floor heating will be presented as well as different floor panel options and assemblies and examples of mechanical installations. In the current age of sustainability, radiant floor heating plays an integral role in smart, responsible green building.
