cool. There are many subcategories of radiant heating and cooling, including: "radiant ceiling panels", "embedded surface systems", "thermally active...

Underfloor heating and cooling is a form of central heating and cooling that achieves indoor climate control for thermal comfort using hydronic or electrical...

space heating. Denison Olmsted of New Haven, Connecticut, appears to have been the earliest person to use the term 'radiator' to mean a heating appliance...

Solar water heating (SWH) is heating water by sunlight, using a solar thermal collector. A variety of configurations are available at varying cost to provide...

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is the use of various technologies to control the temperature, humidity, and purity of the air in an...

Water heating is a heat transfer process that uses an energy source to heat water above its initial temperature. Typical domestic uses of hot water include...

collect heat for space heating, domestic hot water, or cooling with an absorption chiller. In contrast to solar hot water panels, they use a circulating...

heating. The films can also be used in heating panels to produce wall or ceiling panel heaters. Although heating films do not usually run at very high...

insulated pipes for residential and commercial heating requirements such as space heating and water heating. The heat is often obtained from a cogeneration...

to vibrate and produce thermal energy in a process known as dielectric heating. Microwave ovens heat foods quickly and efficiently because excitation...

Joule heating (also known as resistive, resistance, or Ohmic heating) is the process by which the passage of an electric current through a conductor produces...

such as solar electricity, solar thermal energy (including solar water heating) and solar architecture. It is an essential source of renewable energy...

water-borne solar panels Solar planes Solar-powered water purification Solar-pumped lasers Solar vehicles Solar water heating Solar panels on spacecraft and...

An infrared heater or heat lamp is a heating appliance containing a high-temperature emitter that transfers energy to a cooler object through electromagnetic...

Aerodynamic heating is the heating of a solid body produced by its high-speed passage through air. In science and engineering, an understanding of aerodynamic...

applications of long wave or FIR heating exist, a common representation comprises radiant panel heaters. Radiant panel heaters typically contain a grid...

than generating heat, they are more energy-efficient than other ways of heating or cooling a home. A gaseous refrigerant is compressed so its pressure...

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is an intergovernmental body of the United Nations. Its job is to advance scientific knowledge about...

material for combinations with heating and cooling. Before the development of drywall panels made of clay, however, wall heating elements could only be laid...

successful, some effects will continue for centuries. These include ocean heating, ocean acidification and sea level rise. Climate change threatens people...
