Benefits
• Eliminating/reducing ducts= higher ceilings= better daylighting= less suspended acoustic tile ceilings= potential to expose structure
• Improved comfort due to more precise control of mean radiant temperature
• Reduced transport energy for removing or adding heat gain from the space
Benefits
• Improved comfort due to:
– more precise control of mean radiant temperature
– Separate control for temp and ventilation (DOAS
– Works well with natural ventilation
• Minimizes mechanical noise
– (sometimes too quiet)
• Reduced fan energy

Challenges
• Capacity of a thermally active floor is limited
– Must manage heat gain
• Slow response time for in-slab radiant
• Carpet limits effectiveness of radiant cooling
• Hard surfaces requires attention to acoustics
• Changes to floor plan or zones constrained by manifolds and embedded tubes
Ideal Building Types
• Museums, concourses and other open spaces
• Hotels and multi-family housing
• Buildings with very low internal heat gains, less than 7-8 Btu/ft² (double this for ceiling panels)
• Buildings with significant solar gains on the floor that can be mitigated by embedded tubes.

Challenging Building Types
• Multi-tenant offices or retail where tenant boundaries frequently change
• Functions that need precise acoustical environment
• Spaces with irregular schedules (lag time)
• Buildings with significant internal heat gains such as laboratories, hospitals and restaurants
