2. Underfloor heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underfloor_heating

   Underfloor heating and cooling is a form of central heating and cooling that achieves indoor climate control for thermal comfort using hydronic or electrical heating elements embedded in a floor. Heating is achieved by conduction, radiation and convection. Use of underfloor heating dates back to the Neoglacial and Neolithic periods.

3. Wood flooring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_flooring

   Engineered flooring is suitable for underfloor and radiant heating systems, while solid wood cannot be used with underfloor heating. [ 6 ] Some characteristics are common to each category: solid wood is more frequently site-finished, is always in a plank format, is generally thicker than engineered wood, and is installed by nailing.

4. Floor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor

   A floor is the bottom surface of a room or vehicle. Floors vary from simple dirt in a cave to many layered surfaces made with modern technology. Floors may be stone, wood, bamboo, metal or any other material that can support the expected load. The levels of a building are often referred to as floors, although sometimes referred to as storeys.

5. Underfloor air distribution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underfloor_air_distribution

   UFAD systems use an underfloor supply plenum located between the structural concrete slab and a raised floor system to supply conditioned air to supply outlets (usually floor diffusers), located at or near floor level within the occupied space. Air returns from the room at ceiling level or the maximum allowable height above the occupied zone.

6. Hypocaust - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypocaust

   Hypocaust under the floor in a Roman villa in Vieux-la-Romaine, near Caen, France. A hypocaust (Latin: hypocaustum) is a system of central heating in a building that produces and circulates hot air below the floor of a room, and may also warm the walls with a series of pipes through which the hot air passes. This air can warm the upper floors ...

7. 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.
