Radiant Heating and Cooling AI
AI design of radiant heating and cooling systems for thermal comfort.
Definition
Radiant Heating and Cooling AI designs radiant floor, ceiling, and wall systems for space conditioning. It analyzes thermal comfort, system capacity, and integration with building structure to create efficient radiant systems that provide superior comfort with lower energy consumption.
In Depth
Radiant heating and cooling systems use heated or cooled surfaces (floors, ceilings, or wall panels) to transfer heat radiatively, providing occupant comfort with lower air movement and reduced ductwork compared to forced-air systems. AI assists with the system design, pipe layout, and performance modeling.
The thermal analysis models the radiant heat exchange between the heated/cooled surface, the room surfaces, and the occupants. AI calculates the required surface temperature and pipe spacing to deliver the design heating or cooling capacity, accounting for the floor or ceiling construction, the fluid temperature, and the insulation below the radiant surface.
