A Review on Effect of Cooling Capacity in Radiant Cooling Panel

Abstract

Commercial buildings in the Southeast Asian region often employ air-conditioning to maintain a comfortable temperature. Some European nations discourage complete air-conditioning because of the high initial cost, high energy consumption, and sometimes unsatisfactory interior environment (SBS, noise, draught). As an alternative, water-based radiant heating and cooling systems may be used in multi-story structures, where pipes are embedded in the building structure (floors, ceilings, walls, and concrete slabs). Radiant floor heating's use has increased in a previous couple of decades. Floor heating is standard in new home construction in Germany, Austria, and Denmark, with percentages ranging from 30 to 50 percent. Under-floor heating systems are used in around 90% of Korean homes. Hydronic radiant cooling for commercial and institutional usage is the emphasis of this research.
