Under floor heating is a form of central heating; a central-heating system provides warmth to the whole interior of a building (or portion of a building) from one point to multiple rooms. When combined with other systems in order to control the building climate, the whole system may comprise a HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning). Central heating differs from local heating in that the heat generation occurs in one place, such ...central heating which utilizes radiant heat Thermal radiation is electromagnetic radiation emitted from the surface of an object which is due to the object's temperature.
West 238th St heating is arguably superior to convection methods because warm, buoyant air rises wastefully to the ceiling in convection-heated rooms, warming the upper body (often with some discomfort, particularly to the head) but leaving the lower body cooler.
In contrast, in-floor radiant heating warms the lower part of both the room and the body because when warm air convicts from the radiant floor surface.
