Radiant and convective heating
and cooling
Convector radiators, using steam or hot water, are one of the oldest
heating methods and are still in common use. Modern systems are
more compact than the old cast-iron radiators and depend more on
natural convection than on radiation. Rating methods are standard-
ized by the Hydronics Institute.
Radiant heating by means of floor, wall, or ceiling panels is common.
Hot-water piping or electric resistance heating tape is used. Maximum
