Another example of using radiant heating cost-effectively: We designed a
home in Wisconsin about 10 years ago that has electrical heating cables
buried in an insulated sand bed below the concrete floor slab. The sand
bed is "charged" with electrical heat at night to take advantage of
off-peak electrical power rates. The heat diffuses to the slab surface the
following day. The owners report excellent comfort and low heating
costs. Unfortunately, no thermal performance data exists for this building.
