Study on Energy Saving Potential of Radiant Cooling System in China

Abstract:

Combined system of radiant cooling and dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) has advantage in energy-saving and thermal comfort. In order to investigate the energy saving potential of the system under different climate conditions in China, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Xi’an were selected, where summer energy consumption of the combined system and fan coil + fresh air system in reference building was calculated with BIN method respectively. The results show that radiant cooling system has better performance in energy saving than fan coil system by saving of 12-16%. The system operation time and outdoor climate are main factors influencing energy saving effect.
