Description
ASHRAE Technical Committee 6.5 sponsored this Research Project to aid the developers of radiant simulation modules. If radiant panels are to gain widespread use, a reliable simulation tool is necessary for use by the design profession. This report is useful to researchers, simulation developers, and design engineers.
The project successfully demonstrates the use of radiant panels for both heating and cooling, in conjunction with ventilation/dehumidification units, to achieve thermal comfort in a residence. The performance data from over a 2-year period provides a performance baseline against which simulation results can be compared. The project also demonstrates that radiant panel cooling/heating combined with envelope thermal mass has benefits for comfort and cost performance in a hot arid climate.
