Modeling a radiant floor system with Phase Change Material (PCM) integrated into a building simulation tool: Analysis of a case study of a floor heating system coupled to a heat pump

▸ A building simulation model has been developed to simulate a radiant floor with PCM. ▸ The building simulation model has been validated using Energy Plus. ▸ The behavior of a PCM radiant floor system coupled to a heat pump has been analyzed. ▸ The PCM enables the shift of electric energy consumption to off-peak hours.
