Hydronic heating
systems use hot water to heat your home and are
considered by many to offer a better comfort than
other heating alternatives. The water within the
system is a transportation mechanism delivering
heat through distribution pipe work, which is then
released into space by a heat emitter such as floor
slab, radiators or convectors.

Hydronic
central heating is quite simply the most comfortable
and efficient way to heat your living environment.
Possible ways of heat transfer are CONDUCTION,
CONVECTION, EVAPORATION and RADIATION.
Radiation is the most effective mode of
heat transfer and floor heating uses the highest proportion
of radiant heat transfer of all heating systems, making
it the most effective means of heating the living environment.

Look at the Radiant Floor Heating Curve. Radiant floor
heating is the only heating system that gives you a room
temperature curve that matches the Ideal Heating Curve
for the human body -warm at the floor and cooler at our
head.
Hydronic heating systems use water to move thermal energy
from where it is produced to where it is needed. The
water within the system is a transportation mechanism
delivering heat through distribution pipe work, which
is then released into space by a heat emitter such as
floor slab, radiators or convectors.
Hydronic Cooling – An
innovative approach
Hydronic cooling works on the same principle - this
time, transporting cooled water through a structural
mass (such as a concrete slab). Hydronic cooling is an
innovative approach to reducing or eliminating the reliance
on traditional refrigerative air conditioning systems.
With radiant cooling systems the heat is removed by
providing cooling to the space surfaces rather than directly
to the air. When used in conjunction with a separate
ventilation system this provides a constant, comfortably
cooled environment. The separation of the cooling and
the ventilation not only improves comfort conditions
but also increases indoor air quality.
