Radiant –Efficiencies

Water has roughly 3,500 times the energy transport capacity of air

With radiant space conditioning systems, the ventilation function is separate– The volume of air moved and

component size can be up to 5 times less

– Fan power and duct size is much smaller

The cost of a radiant system is comparable to traditional variable-air-volume (VAV) system
