A Radiant cooling system operates at warmer temperatures than traditional All-Air cooling systems. Typically, the circulating water only needs to be 6-8°C below the desired indoor air temperature. Once absorbed by the actively cooled surface, heat is removed by water flowing through a hydronic circuit, replacing the warmed water with cooler water. Radiant cooling is most effective at removing direct solar and sensible heat gains.

Uponor provides a complete one stop solution of the embedded system together with the necessary room and water control mitigating the risk of condensation in hot and humid climates.

Incorporating a radiant cooling system reduces the size of the supplementary ventilation system therefore providing significant energy savings, greater levels of thermal comfort and lower lifecycle costs for the building owner.
