It's 22C here tonight and I'm boiled. Humidity. 37C and say better than 30% humidity is as uncomfortable as 50C and 5% humidity. Been in both. Tropical rain forest and arid desert. |

I would rather not be in a room where the air is hotter than my body temperature thank you very much. Then be in cold room then. No accounting for odd tastes. You're missing the point. Body temperature is 37C ish. Comfortable room temperature is between 18 and 21C. I know this because I work in a large open plan office and sit beside the control. There is a constant battle between different people jacking the heat and turning it down. So much so the management brought in some bozo specialist to sort the whole thing out. Hasn't made a blind bit of difference. The bit I sit at is colder and that suits me just fine, especially since I have been pregnant 2 and quarter years in the last 5. You know, thats the warmest kind of heating you can have. Another entity hatching inside you. And you boyos can't argue on that.... Mmm. Thats the trouble with radiators. Hot spots and cold spots as they rely on a very hot surface transferring heat by air movement to the cold parts. Air movement means some sort of draught Air movement does mean a draught at all. - even if low level. And it IS at low level - usually a cold air current rund the feet moving towards the radiator. I quite like hot air blowers I have to say. At least they have *hot* draughts. But they aren't as good as UF. Don't worry about the UF lag either. From a sensible coolness as of having been off all day, to be up to temp is usually less than an hour. Screed UF systems have such a huge thermal inertia they never ever cool down that much. I like you decided not to UF heat parts of the floor that seemd would not need it - sink and cooker area. and entrance lobby. I was roight on teh cooker, less right on teh sink, and almost wrong on teh lobby. Put extra coils of pipe where people leave outside doors open while unloading shopping, and where any micro draughts due to letter boxes or simply the inevitable hing gap/ keyholes If letterboxes cause a draught, get rid of them and have a proper letter box screwed to the wall outside. These are becoming very popular. And other draughts should be attended. You don't put extra heating in, just eliminate the draught. --- -- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

This is not accurate. If you think it is inaccurate please explain It is not accurate in his assumption comfort levels. So you agree that with blown air systems the surface temperature of interior surfaces will always be equal to or below air temperature? That is obvious. Once warmed up, equal to. The body is always cooling. It is the rate of cooling that makes us feel hot or cold. Some surfaces in line of sight of the body extract heat from the body more than others. The surface type and colour also make a difference. Temperature of the surface is just one aspect of MRT. If you read both authors, this is said in a round about way. Mean radiant temperature is simply the area weighted mean temperature of all the objects surrounding the body. It will be positive when surrounding objects are warmer than the average skin temperature and negative when they are colder. Not quite right. Some surfaces reflect radiant heat and may not be warm at all. This is where MRT is confusing. It is merely not just surface temperatures of objects. snip misunderstanding of MRT and forced air. You can't. You don't understand MRT, and few actually do. It is regarded as one of those things invented to explain something. It is simply basic physics and physiology, nothing magic or complicated about it. It is not totally complete and reliable. Only in catalogue land. The great advantage of slow reaction systems is the controls can be really simple _if_ the design is right in the first place. Nonsense!!! Do your physics make the concrete slab heat up faster or cool faster? no - which is why fancy controls are not usually needed. You haven't a clue soldier boy. Stop prattling on about physics you fool. No designer look at his O levels physics book when designing a heating system. If he doesn't understand the physics of heat loss and gain how then does he design it? Oh my God. Stop reading those How Things Work books. Because your house is occupied most of the time. Is it? So you said/implied. It s been a "fad" for the last 15 years at least. (actually the last 2000 odd to be more precise) It is a fad. The number installed systems at the mo is in single %age figures. When the building boom really starts it will be insignificant in installed systems. Of course - because developers want the cheapest quickest and simplest systems they can stuff in their little boxes. Quality is not an issue. If UFH sells they will put it in. Balls!!! Dream on. You have lived in army houses. Most of my houses were not army houses. And you have experienced ? Design and installation of 1000s of them. and never lived with the consequences of any, like most plumbers. Not a plumber soldier boy. I wasn't design/installed properly. An assortment of far better qualified people than you They are not better qualified or experienced than me. If you care to let us know your qualifications and experience I'll compare them for you. No thanks soldier boy. You don't know enough. including engineers (not fitters) from the manufacturers have said it is well designed and installed. Balls!! If it was designed and installed well the user would love it. It was, he doesn't. Balls!! It was not!!! --- -- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

"The Natural Philosopher" wrote in message ... SC wrote: "SC" wrote We are doing major changes to our kitchen to make it open plan to a dining area and living room, and we are adding a sunroom. As we need to add new floors we wanted to look at underflooor heating. We will have a gas combi boiler system. Any personal experience out there? Is it costly to run? I like the idea as this will be a family room and we have 3 kids under 4, they spend so much time rollling round the floor I thought it may be a good idea to warm the floor... Any sane thoughts appreciated Suzanne "Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen" A Einstein Phew I've started World War III!! But it has brought out a lot of good points. To summerise: People like underfloor heating, but it needs to be put down well. Issues to consider: are heatup time lag (the changeable Autumn/Spring weather point was good), avoid hotspots, good underfloor insulation, separate controller at boiler, no radiator to hang your wet socks (sorry this is important to me). Good things a a comfortable heat at lower temps, warm bare toes, radiators not hogging wall space, cosy warm floor for kiddies to roll on, overall lower cost in my situation. My situation is: this is for a large L-shaped room 20'x20' which will be kitchen/ dining/ living space. Ventilation/ heating are very important as we are combining a cooking and living environment. I only work mornings, home with after school childcare and quite often have to be up at night with wains, so always on heating is fine. The back door will open into a sunroom part of this area - draughts when the door is opened, plus condensation from kitchen activity on sunroom windows. My experience was of being brought up in a 200yr old farmhouse with only an Rayburn Royal for heat, or open the airing cupboard in the bathroom to take the chill of an enamal bath. Consequently I can stand too much heat, and especially heat convection/hot air heaters. Turns me into a heat hogging zombie with red legs. What I think maybe good for us will be a separate controller for UF to the combi (located just off this room) and a good control for settings. I will not run the UF round the cooking and dishwasher/ sink area as I would overheat. In addition I will run a slim radiator round under the windows in the sunroom as this will be the coldest area, most prone to condensation, and also give me somewhere to warm socks towels etc. Whadda think?? I think, unlike IMM, you have grasped the essentials. And so concludes our snotty uni man, as he closes his tattered How Things Work book (with real big colour pictures). --- -- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

On the contrary, to quote from http://meanradianttemperature.com/ "Good Thermal Design Tips (extract) Use hydronic radiant floors Heat people, not air" Richard Kadulski wrote the following on MRT in the Renewable Energy Policy Project :- "A simple formula has been developed that allows normal comfort level of a room to be calculated by adding the two primary heating components: air temperature and mean radiant temperature (average room surface temperature). The formula is: air temperature ( F) + mean radiant temperature ( F) = 140 ( F). For example, with a conventional forced warm air heating system we can maintain comfortable conditions at an air temperature of about 72 deg F (22 C) with a mean radiant temperature of 68 F (72 + 68 = 140). With a radiant heating system, comfort is achieved at 68 F air temperature if the mean radiant temperature is 72 F (68 + 72 = 140)". With blown air systems the radiant temperature of all surfaces must always be equal to or below the air temperature and for equivalent levels of comfort higher, not lower, temperatures are required. Kadulski, also wrote about comfort conditions, "While this may all seem like much ado about nothing, it underlines that this fundamental idea is too complex to define crisply with measurable numbers." --- -- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

I would rather not be in a room where the air is hotter than my body temperature thank you very much. Then be in cold room then. No accounting for odd tastes. Hmm. Once again a total failure to actually grasp the point being made. He likes cold rooms. No he doesn't. I know you don't believe in physics, but would you like to explain how a person with a normal body temperature of around 37 degrees gains any heat from air at a comfortable temperature of 20 degrees or so? It is the rate of cooling that makes a body comfortable or not. Nothing to do with physics. You do realise the physics is a science that deals with matter and energy and their interactions, I certainly do. --- -- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
