Hallo,
I was wondering if anyone has heard of a building which uses hydronic
heating / cooling in an innovative way:
The coils are installed into all elevated concrete floors as well as
into the basement slab-on-grade (and underground walls). By
circulating the water through the pipes, the building can be
conditioned without using external energy (besides for the heat
exchanger for the heating, because the basement isn't warm enough to
heat the upper floors).
I know of successful buildings like this in Europe, but was hoping
this had been done in the US, and that I could find information on it
here.
Thank you. Christoph
