Heat profile for under floor heating is nearly ideal:

Warm at feet, where blood circulation is poorest.

Temperate at head levels where body temperature is highest.

Conclusion
We Feel Better With Warm Feet & a Cool Head

The Result:

Comfort:
Experience shows that even temperature produced by radiant heat allows people to remain comfortable at 3 C lower overall room temperature. p

Economic Operation: p
Where naturally, the heat losses & energy costs are cut down.

Other Main Features:

Large Heating Surface:

Which allows circulation of hot water at lower temperature than in radiator systems. Thereby reducing the heat losses in the system & guarantees pleasant warmth by means of mild radiant heat.

Even heat distribution across the entire floor.

Where the heat is transmitted from all over the entire space of the floor surface.

No restriction on the placement of furniture.

Floor Heating gives total freedom to choose the interior decoration arrangements g without any restrictions.

More stable moisture contents:

The air s not dehumidified, thus; leading to a healthful environment.

Enormous heat storage within the floor layers above the pipe networks This leads to:
Making periodic ventilation by opening windows possible without significant p g loss of heating g efficiency. y Creating a self-balanced environment, because more than h 50% % of f the h h heat transfer f from f floor fl is i through h h radiation; Thus, the higher the room temperature becomes, Thus becomes the lower the heat transfer would be.

Less dust movement: Because of two reasons:

More than 50% of the heat transferred is through radiation, where in radiation no dust particles move. The absence of the fans & blowers which eliminates drafts and thus, drafts, thus dust movement. movement

Suitable for any power source & can be adapted with solar panel energy systems, because of low temperature operation.

Fuel Economy In Figures The same physical ease & well being can be obtained in case of floor g with 3C less room temperature p than in the case of radiator heating heating. This corresponds to 3/20 = 15% energy saving. The radiant heat does not heat the ceiling as much as in radiator or forced air systems, this means a further fuel saving of about 10%

we have it all

Thanks to the low temperature of the floor there are no thermal bridges p of. to speak Continuous operation p & entire space p distributed heating g are also important p factors to save energy; as there would be no need to add any extra heat loads to compensate for these two factors.

Design Process:

Determine the heat loss for each room in the building. building Accordingly, we obtain

Q/A (watt/m2 )

If this value exceeds the maximum heat output obtained from under floor heating, then we should: Improve the insulation. Install an auxiliary System.

Design Process:

Determine the floor surface temperature:

Design Process:

From the curves, curves find out the coefficient of heat transfer in

W/m2K

Accordingly, determine the average water temperature

Design Process:

Calculating the boiler size: Calculate the total heat load for under floor heating. Add other extra loads such as; domestic hot water, other heating networks, swimming pools, etc. Safety factor should be added depending on the boiler efficiency.
