[BLDG-SIM] Radiant Floors in eQuest



Title: Radiant Floors in eQuest
This has be described in sevearl ASHRAE papers written in the early 90's. I can remember presenting at a symposium with Chuck Mac Cluer on this subject also Athinitis at Concordia has published work on this subject. The clue is to use the PMV to ensure occuapant comfort is maintained and then do a series of runs to see what the lowest space temperature would be still maintaining a minimum PMV of say -0.4. Typically space temperatures in the comfort region are down at 66-68F, so obviuosly the heat loss is reduced along with energy consumption. This has also been presented at ASHRAE in one of the Standard 55 seminars and last year in a symposium in Chicago.

Subject: [BLDG-SIM] Radiant Floors in eQuest

I was wondering if anyone know how to model a system with radiant floor heating? Would a simplified, yet someone accurate alternative (energy consumption wise) to knock down the heating thermostat a bit due to less actual heating needed for human comfort? Any help is greatly appreciated.
