[BLDG-SIM] Radiant Floors in eQuest

[Brian Fountain]

In eQUEST, there is a system type for in-floor heating: FPH for floor
panel heating.  

 

The manual suggests a lower setpoint is appropriate as the model is
driven on space drybulb rather than mean radiant temperatures.  Based
on one hangar model we worked on, I would suggest a space temperature
of 68F.

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.
