On the Multi-Domain Impacts of Coupling Mechanical Ventilation to Radiant Systems in Residential Buildings

In the current context of joint efforts towards decarbonisation buildings, integrating occupants’ comfort and health with latest technological advancements for energy efficiency is at center development research, policies professional practice. Radiant systems are encountering great success since low-thickness can also be used in renovation projects both heating cooling, while guaranteeing optimal comfort. However, dehumidification often required radiant cooling operation no condensation risks, potential mechanical ventilation to optimally address needs dehumidification, air renewal, appears far from its full exploitation post-COVID-19 era. The present paper aims providing a quantification financial impacts implementation controlled system (CMV) coupled typical residential case study building Italy. results show that sole CMV may decrease primary demand costs by more than 30% contribute an increase smart readiness 8%, but further incentive must developed cover still high investment maintenance cost.
