Radiant systems have a hot and cold reputation. They provide comfort across a broad range of conditions yet require rigorous, detailed control to accommodate thermal lag and avoid moisture problems.

We present results of a radiant cooling system that made the hot and humid tropical climate of Singapore feel cool and comfortable. Thermal radiation exchange between occupants and surfaces in the ...

Radiant heating is about as natural of a heat source as there is. Radiation is a form of heat we experience daily when we step outside and feel the heat of the sun. The sun’s radiant heat feels great ...

A team of UCLA engineers and researchers has developed a new technique to make it feel up to 10 degrees Fahrenheit cooler outside while preserving a sense of safe and open space. As climate change ...

Sustainability and comfort are top priorities in any new build or renovation project these days. Green construction means taking measures to reduce emissions and achieve a high degree of energy ...

Engineers at the University of California, Los Angeles, have developed a lightweight, scalable structure that combines water-cooled aluminum panels with a transparent, infrared-reflective polymer film ...

Active radiant cooling is a promising strategy for outdoor thermal comfort, but there are practicality and safety concerns with the typically opaque and dark structures that are needed. A team of UCLA ...
