2. Radiant heating and cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_heating_and_cooling

   Radiant heating and cooling is a category of HVAC technologies that exchange heat by both convection and radiation with the environments they are designed to heat or cool. There are many subcategories of radiant heating and cooling, including: "radiant ceiling panels", [ 1 ] "embedded surface systems", [ 1 ] "thermally active building systems ...

   Central heating systems: These systems produce heat in one central location and distribute it throughout the building. This category includes furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps. [1] [2] Distributed heating systems: These systems generate heat in the space they are to heat, without extensive duct systems. Examples include electric space heaters ...

   Heating, cooling, ventilation and exhaustion are all key areas to consider in the mechanical planning of a building. [4] In special cases, water cooling/heating, humidity control or air filtration [5] may also be incorporated. For example, Google's data centres make extensive use of heat exchangers to cool their servers. [6]

6. Underfloor heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underfloor_heating

   The terms radiant heating and radiant cooling are commonly used to describe this approach because radiation is responsible for a significant portion of the resulting thermal comfort but this usage is technically correct only when radiation composes more than 50% of the heat exchange between the floor and the rest of the space. [26]

7. Radiative cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_cooling

   The three basic types of radiant cooling are direct, indirect, and fluorescent: Direct radiant cooling - In a building designed to optimize direct radiation cooling, the building roof acts as a heat sink to absorb the daily internal loads. The roof acts as the best heat sink because it is the greatest surface exposed to the night sky.
