JSOMA Radiant Heating and Cooling System Helps BGS SCHOOL In On Ambitious Energy Efficiency Goals.
School administrators embraced the opportunity to build an innovative facility that students would be happy to call home. The design includes a JSOMA RADIANT SLAB HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM, which circulates a heated or chilled water-glycol solution through a network of PEX piping installed in the floors throughout the entire facility. The radiant system enables the school to meet indoor environmental criteria related to air quality. To help the school recognize the benefits of a combined radiant heating and cooling system, we supplied, installed and cimmissioned a finite element analysis to model the floor heating and cooling output. The results predicted a significant energy savings due to reduced heating and cooling loads and increased efficiencies of the heated and chilled water sources.
