| Abstract |
The objective of this study is to analyze the possibilities and considerations for the application of the radiant floor cooling system by analyzing the problems of a conventional cooling system through field tests and thermal performance simulations of the radiant floor cooling in an apartment building. The results are as follows.
(1) Problems of the conventional cooling system with PAC (packaged air conditioner)'s include draft, local discomfort, and excessive electrical peak demand.
(2) According to the measurement during the cooling and intermediate seasons, the floor surface temperatures which are experienced at the time of cooling with PAC's and during intermediate season are similar to the temperatures for radiant floor cooling.
(3) The radiant floor cooling system is applicable to apartment buildings during the cooling season, especially on hot and clear days. |
