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.- How heat is distributed in heated slabs and how indoor temperatures respond to outdoor conditions
- The limits of single-zone control and the benefits of zoning or separate pumps for groups of rooms
- Maintenance steps that affect comfort, ventilation, and condensation control
- How these findings inform both retrofits of existing buildings and future high-rise design

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
