“…In certain cases, the slab or floor surface temperatures could be used as a controlled parameter in order to improve energy efficiency or to avoid local discomfort [93,94]. It has been suggested that the floor surface temperature needs to be selected as a control parameter of radiant floor cooling systems, in order to avoid overcooling of the floor due to the sudden increase of cooling loads [31].…”

“…Watanabe (2001) gives a general overview of the study in Japan on the thermal comfort zone, which is the combination of air temperature and surface temperature. Concerning operation of the system, there are many researches such as comparison between continuous/intermittent operation modes and conventional on-off control (Cho, 1999), and a predictive control (Lee, 2002). However, most of these studies aim at the floor heating system whose pipe is embedded in concrete.…”

In order to improve the performance of the floor heating system, it is very important to investigate how the heat loss is caused and how the energy consumption of the system could be reduced. Therefore, the heat loss from a hot water floor heating system was investigated in a residential house in Japan. Through the investigation process, several improvements were made in the heating system. To know the effect of the improvements, the upward/downward heat flows from the hot-water panel and the heat loss from the piping of the floor heating system were calculated. In result, insulating the piping and attaching the insulation below the floor improved the upward heat flow rate from the panel. However closing the ventilation openings hardly improved the rate of the upward heat flow from the panel. Although insulating the pipe and attaching the insulation below the floor improved the upward heat flow, heat loss from the piping was still high. To reduce the heat loss from the floor heating system, it is much effective to insulate the piping, compared with the improvement of the insulation and structure of the floor.
