   A.M. Byers of America promotes radiant heating using small bore water pipes. Asia continues to use traditional ondol and kang—wood is used as the fuel, combustion gases sent under floor. 1930: Oscar Faber in England uses water pipes used to radiant heat and cool several large buildings.

3. Radiator (heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator_(heating)

   Also known as "radiant heat", underfloor heating uses a network of pipes, tubing or heating cables, buried in or attached beneath a floor to allow heat to rise into the room. Best results are achieved with conductive flooring materials such as tile. The large surface area of such room-sized radiators allows them to be kept just a few degrees ...

   Wright reportedly was so impressed [citation needed] that he invented radiant floor heating which uses hot water as the heating medium. Wright introduced floor heating to American houses in the US in the 1930s. [7] Instead of ondol-hydronic radiant floor heating, modern-day houses such as high-rise apartments have a modernized version of the ...

6. Central heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

   Hydronic radiant floor heating systems use a boiler or district heating to heat water and a pump to circulate the hot water in plastic pipes installed in a concrete slab. The pipes, embedded in the floor, carry heated water that conducts warmth to the surface of the floor, where it broadcasts heat energy to the room above.

7. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   At night the absence of heat (i.e. cold) is the exact same phenomenon, with the heat radiating described mathematically as the linear opposite. Radiant barriers prevent radiant heat transfer equally in both directions. However, heat flow to and from surfaces also occurs via convection, which in some geometries is different in different directions.
