Radiant systems offer a compelling alternative to standard VAV or RTU forced-air approaches due to the occupant comfort provided and the energy savings. But radiant remains rare in today’s commercial buildings and even more rare when used for both heating and cooling. Cathy Higgins, Research Director for New Buildings Institute (NBI) in Portland led a study of the energy performance of buildings incorporating radiant for both heating and cooling on behalf of CBE at UC Berkeley and the California Energy Commission. She will share the highlights of the findings including some local examples that are part of the case studies. Mark Perepelitza, Sustainability Director at SERA Architects, was involved in two of the projects and has a deep history coordinating mechanical systems, assessment, and advocacy for low-energy outcomes. He will bring some of the ‘trench’ perspective from client interactions, design through recent post-occupancy review of buildings with radiant systems.
