JSOMA Radiant Slab Cooling System Helps Centre Point 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 COOLING SYSTEM, which circulates a 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 cooling system, we supplied, installed and commissioned a finite element analysis to model the floor cooling output. The results predicted a significant energy savings due to reduced cooling loads and increased efficiencies of the chilled water sources.
