A heating designer is asked to create a three zone radiant floor heating system using a 5-ton (60,000 Btu/h) geothermal heat pump as the primary heat source, and a mod/con boiler as the auxiliary heat source.
With remote work becoming the standard for many employees across the U.S. and homeowners spending even more time indoors as a result of the pandemic, a new focus is emerging on the need for sustainability and indoor environmental quality in homes.
While the history of radiant heating stretches all the way back to the Roman hypocausts more than 2,000 years ago, the technology is still growing in popularity today.
I‘ve been in the radiant floor heating industry for more than 20 years, and in that time there’s been a huge amount of change in the heating products available, the clientele we serve and in the installation methods we use.
