Challenges of Implementing Radiant Cooling and Heating Systems in India
The concept of radiant cooling and heating systems has been gaining popularity in various parts of the world due to their energy efficiency and improved comfort levels. This system operates by regulating temperature through heat transfer between surfaces, such as floors, ceilings or walls and the surrounding air. In India, where both heating and cooling requirements are diverse and demand for energy-efficient systems is on the rise, the radiant system is considered a promising solution. However, the widespread implementation of this technology presents several challenges that need to be addressed to make it more feasible for residential and commercial buildings. One of the major challenges faced in India is the lack of awareness and understanding of how radiant systems work. The concept is still relatively new and many building contractors, architects and even homeowners are unfamiliar with its benefits and technical requirements. As a result, there is often resistance to adop...
