STUDY ON CEILING RADIATION COOLING/HEATING USING WELL WATER

Abstract

Cooling in summer is generally done by air conditioners using electric energy. But this system often causes diseases attributable to excessive cooling and poor circulation as cool air blows locally. Radiation cooling is a solution to this problem. The authors have installed ceiling radiation panels using well water as a heat medium in a room of a wooden house, and verified comfortableness and energy-saving by measuring temperature, humidity, solar radiation and so on continuously throughout a year.
