2. Underfloor heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underfloor_heating

   A.M. Byers of America promotes radiant heating using small bore water pipes. Asia continues to use traditional ondol and kang—wood is used as the fuel, combustion gases sent under floor. 1930: Oscar Faber in England uses water pipes used to radiant heat and cool several large buildings.

3. Building insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation

   Radiant barriers work in conjunction with an air space to reduce radiant heat transfer across the air space. Radiant or reflective insulation reflects heat instead of either absorbing it or letting it pass through. Radiant barriers are often seen used in reducing downward heat flow, because upward heat flow tends to be dominated by convection.

4. Snowmelt system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowmelt_system

   A faster rate of snowmelting will require closer spacing of tubing, typical spacing is 6-8". Another key factor is the amount of insulation used under the slab. Hydronic tubes that are cast into concrete slabs will create an uneven heating pattern in the concrete thus causing uneven stresses to occur within the concrete slab.

6. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   Reflective insulation and radiant barriers reduce the radiation of heat to or from the surface of a material. Radiant barriers will reflect radiant energy. A radiant barrier by itself will not affect heat conducted through the material by direct contact or heat transferred by moist air rising or convection.

7. Radiant heating and cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_heating_and_cooling

   Radiant heating and cooling is a category of HVAC technologies that exchange heat by both convection and radiation with the environments they are designed to heat or cool. There are many subcategories of radiant heating and cooling, including: "radiant ceiling panels", [ 1 ] "embedded surface systems", [ 1 ] "thermally active building systems ...
