I have to design a building where the heating and cooling system is in the floor and the heat part I have in the program, but I do not know how to add the cooling part. In design builder i could find heated floors but that is it.
In the latest version you have "radiant surface" which can be used both for heating and cooling. More info here: link text
Thank you for your help!
For my Building i want to model an radiant surface and a heated floor in the same floor. Is there any convienent way to do so?
I'm not sure i understand. The heated floor/chilled ceiling are radiant surfaces as well. The advantage of "radiant surface", as described above, is that it can be used both for heating, and cooling - it can be installed in all type of building elements: ceiling, floor, walls. Whereas the heated floor can be installed only floors.
sorry, but my question was not clear! I had the radiant surface in the technical floor. so it was difficult for me to meet the requirements because the heating was in the concrete slab and with a layer of air above it I had errors in simulation, so i decided to let just the radiant surface and delete the air layer above.(in this way I gave up the technical floor)
My Problem is, that i have floor heating in addition to radiant heating and cooling in the concrete layer of the floor. Designbuilder only let me set one internal source in the building element (foor).
