 | Radiant heating
is
widely regarded as the most comfortable, healthiest, and most natural heating
process available. People are warmed in the same way as they are warmed by
sunshine on a cool day. Floor drafts, cold spots, and dry air are eliminated.
Dust, air contaminants, bacteria, and low humidity levels, all problems
associated with forced-air heating, are nonexistent in a home with a properly
designed radiant heating system. |

| What is Radiant
Heat? Hold your hand over a hot cup of coffee and feel the heat. The typical
conclusion is that heat rises. Typical maybe, but incorrect! "Hot air" rises but
"heat" can travel in any direction. That is why you can feel the heat of the cup
when you place your hand to the side of it. Radiant energy transfer is caused by
a warm surface giving up its heat to a cooler surface. Whenever there is a
temperature difference between two surfaces, both surfaces will attempt to
equalize. Radiant energy travels through space without heating the space itself.
It only turns into heat when it contacts a cooler surface. Our human comfort
relies just as much on radiant heat transfer as it does on air temperature, yet
the majority of heating and air-conditioning professionals think only in terms
of air temperature. |

| As a result,
Americans are missing out on a truly comfortable living environment in their
homes and businesses. By controlling both the air temperature and the radiant
transfer of heat to nearby objects, radiant systems deliver a comfort that is
unsurpassed. A radiant "panel" or radiator can be easily mounted on any flat
surface. The only requirement is that the surface be sufficiently large. The
larger the surface, the lower the actual surface temperature required. A wall
radiator may have a surface temperature of 180°F, while an 81°F heated floor
will do the same job.
With radiant heat, the room and every object in it become radiators.
Typically, the temperature in a radiantly heated space matches your skin's
temperature thus eliminating heat loss from your body. Because of this, the room
actually feels warmer, even though the actual air temperature may be cooler. As
a result, radiant heat offers unparalleled comfort and decreased energy bills!
