Performance that informs comfort and energy use in city high-rises.
This field study examines hot-water panel heating in two Chicago high-rise developments, focusing on how embedded concrete slabs deliver heat and how well the control and exhaust ventilation meet the needs of residents. The report measures panel and room temperatures, water temperatures, air flow, and the impact of apartment location and exposure on the thermal environment. It shows that the system can provide adequate heating in a Chicago winter but that a single-zone outdoor thermostat often leads to overheating in many apartments.
The findings highlight practical concerns for building operators and designers, including the balance between heat delivered from floor and ceiling, and the ability of ventilation to prevent condensation. The study also considers how to adjust temperature control, balance temperatures across rooms, and maintain fresh air without wasting energy. Recommendations cover valve adjustments, regular exhaust grille cleaning, and, for future construction, multi-zone or properly grouped zoning with dedicated outdoor thermostats."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
