Radiant Systems has been designing radiant heating projects since 1977, many have included air conditioning and exchange air ventilation for the owner's desires and to satisfy local building codes. Extensive commercial installations include apartments, motels, hotels, hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living residences, gymnasiums, churches, schools, multi-purpose rooms, teaching stations, camp buildings, service garages, auto and woodworking shops, indoor swimming pools, dozens of "add to" or supplemental heating to uncomfortable areas, to residential homes from 1,500 to over 10,000 square feet. Detailed information in the ASHRAE literature has been my designing guide. I know of no unsuccessful, uncomfortable, or under-designed projects that have failed to meet or exceed projected energy consumption and maintenance expectations. Few if anyone else, in the radiant business has had the opportunity to successfully design, implement, and complete such a listing of projects.

The ultimate success of your project and the continuous year to year operation with efficient energy usage and low maintenance, lies in applying the following to the design process; 1) accurately calculating structural heat loss factors as related to the specific local temperature characteristics where the project is located, 2) selecting specifically, the right products for the environmental conditioning appropriate to the architectural uniqueness of the structure, 3) selective placement and installation of correctly sized equipment for reduction of energy wastes and for eliminating the poor comfort quality always associated with over sizing HVAC equipment, and 4) circuiting the electrical design to avoid excessive hardware and installation costs. Balancing these factors and years of field experience, assures an indoor environment comfortable for the user and energy efficient and cost-effective for the investor!

The key ingredient for the success of the commercial and residential installations is the energy management control product developed by a team of engineers in 1980. From the comprehensiveness of the field testing and the recorded maintenance and energy performance reports, coupled with its cost effectiveness, I am very sure this system is unbeatable! This product is unlike anything else available on the market. Energy management products costing many times that of this system have produced poor energy savings, are constant maintenance problems, and very user unfriendly. Radiant heating is definitely an energy saver, as recorded in recent ASHRAE articles quoted elsewhere in this site and has proven the most comfortable and maintenance free system available, BUT for consistently high performance quality of energy efficient comfort, the process necessitates the inclusion of this energy control system!

If you are a designer, architect or specifying engineer for a commercial project and feel that radiant heating could possibly advance your clients' goals, then I will assist you wherever necessary to correctly analyze and implement this process, using high quality, durable products with the energy management control system. My services extend from the design, into the bidding, construction and punch out phases of your project with NO added cost to you or the owner. I will do whatever is needed to see that your project is successful, including making accurate electrical drawings for your contractor to use on the job - WITHOUT COSTLY consulting fees. In residential projects, I have worked closely with owners, decorators, and builders to assure proper product selection, installation locations, system calibration and performance.
