HVAC Engineering: Chilled Floors + Humidity

On the Integrated HVAC Engineering discussion board, expert Robert Bean answers questions about chilled floors and humidity considerations and air mixing…
Student 1:  
Chilled floors seems like a great idea, and if you’re going to do a radiant system, you might as well consider cooling and heating.

The humidity, however, seems to be a big concern. Vapor barriers […]

Robert Bean on Fluid-Based System Concerns in HVAC Engineering

On the Integrated HVAC Engineering Discussion Board…
Robert Bean discusses losing boiler efficiency, vs. losing radiator efficiency, cycling a boiler to maintain average temperature in a system, using 3 way mixing valve (instead of a circulator) to control the temperature of the on the load side, and more!
Student 1:
1) The pressure differential control valve shown around 22 minutes [in Lesson 8 of […]
