Over recent decades, climate ceilings have become a standard solution for room cooling. These water based multifunctional systems, also known as radiant ceilings, can be found in office buildings and salesrooms, as well as in factory buildings and healthcare facilities.

This White Paper aims to explain the basic principles of radiant ceilings and in particular to provide an introduction to the practical implementation of radiant ceiling projects to support new technical designers.

The White Paper addresses the following questions:

• How does radiant cooling/heating work?
• What different kinds of ceiling system are used?
• What are the typical parameters of room air conditioning?
• What other ways are there of influencing indoor climate with radiant ceilings?
