Abstract
In this paper, a calculation method for the floor surface temperature in radiant floor heating/cooling system is proposed, a new formula is derived to estimate the floor surface temperature. The floor is divided into two layers. The correlation for the thermal conductivity of the lower layer is developed based on the numerical model of the radiant floor system built in this paper. The results show that the floor surface temperature values from the proposed method are in agreement with the experimental and numerical values.
