Radiant Heating & Cooling

The Building Science Podcast ·

2015/06/19

"“Why do we heat and cool buildings with air? How did a thermodynamically and physiologically irrational medium of heat transfer - air - become the dominant method of heating and cooling buildings?Water is 832 times denser than air. Energy Density is directly related to the density of a material. Water can capture and channel far more energy per unit volume than air. Thermally active surfaces are built around this basic principle.The human body is a hydronic, thermally active surface system. Heat

Phase Change Materials

The Building Science Podcast ·

2015/05/27

In our first ever episode of the building science podcast, Kristof & Michael introduce a wild product that could change how your home can passively handle heat loads.A phase change material(PCM) is a substance with a high heat of fusionwhich, melting and solidifying at a certain temperature, is capable of storing and releasing large amounts of energy. Heat is absorbed or released when the material changes from solid to liquid and vice versa; thus, PCMs are classified as latent heatstorage (LHS)
