Underfloor heating and cooling systems
Underfloor cooling is an energy-efficient option for properties with underfloor heating systems and heat pumps. With the ability to cool a home without any of the drawbacks associated with traditional cooling devices, this choice is fast becoming the number one option for many property owners. Where underfloor heating radiates thermal energy from the floor surface into the air space, underfloor cooling relies on warm air passing over the cooler floor surface which absorbs radiant energy from the air and reduces the air temperature in the room. Compared with air conditioning, underfloor cooling provides a comfort cooling effect with no draughts, no high air speeds or cold spots and reduced risk of Sick Building Syndrome. Crucially, of course, it is also a low energy, low carbon solution with both low capital and low running costs.
