Radiant Heating and Cooling Systems - Field Test
Project Number ET11PGE1082 Organization PG&E End-use HVAC Sector Residential Project Year(s) 2010 - 2012This project is phase 2 of 2 that focused on the development and deployment of a residential radiant HVAC system with peak load shifting on the cooling system. The major components of the system include radiant panels, water chiller, water heater, pumps and controls, and the hydronic distribution system. This report covers the field testing of the heating system in two houses located in California Building Climate Zone 12 in Sacramento during the 2011-2012 heating season. This climate zone is characterized by a summer 2.5% design temperature of 97° F and a winter 97.5% design temperature of 30° F. There are 1470 cooling degree days and 2702 heating degree days.
Gas Technology Institute was the lead on this project. PG&E supported on this project.
