[BLDG-SIM] Radiant Floors in eQuest

[Peter Simmonds]

This has be described in sevearl ASHRAE papers written in the early
90's. I can remember presenting at a symposium with Chuck Mac Cluer on
this subject also Athinitis at Concordia has published work on this
subject. The clue is to use the PMV to ensure occuapant comfort is
maintained and then do a series of runs to see what the lowest space
temperature would be still maintaining a minimum PMV of say -0.4.
Typically space temperatures in the comfort region are down at 66-68F,
so obviuosly the heat loss is reduced along with energy consumption.
This has also been presented at ASHRAE in one of the Standard 55
seminars and last year in a symposium in Chicago.

	I was wondering if anyone know how to model a system with
radiant floor heating? Would a simplified, yet someone accurate
alternative (energy consumption wise) to knock down the heating
thermostat a bit due to less actual heating needed for human comfort?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
