Thermal Comfort Measurement for Wet Floor Cooling System

Abstract

The trend of constant increase in energy prices can be observed especially on the increased demands on the thermal insulation properties of building structures of buildings. According to European Directive 2010/31 / EU, since 2019 only buildings that meet the energy standards of near zero buildings have to be designed. In practice, the design of the building takes into account, in particular, the shape of the building, its cladding, but also the method and technology for heating, cooling and hot water production. In the case of a family house is considered a specific annual consumption of heat for heating up to 20 kW.h.m-2 floor area. A popular way to achieve low heat consumption is to select an efficient heat source - a heat pump. It is best to combine a heat pump with a heating system with a low temperature gradient. The combination of heat pump and radiant floor heating is very popular. Modern heat pumps also come with the possibility of reversible operation and serve as a source of cold. The following article will therefore address floor radiant cooling and its effect on thermal comfort.
