Best practices and recent advances in hydronic radiant cooling systems – Part II: Simulation, control, and integration

There is an ever-increasing interest in radiant cooling systems (RCSs) due to their energy-saving potential and improved indoor thermal environment in modern buildings. In this part of the review, an overview of established practices and recent efforts in modeling, simulation, operation, control, and integration of RCSs is provided. Models and simulation tools are essential for reliable planning and design of RCSs due to the thermal inertia of...
