Water based systems Low temperature heating - High temperature cooling More economical to move heat by water: Greater heat capacity than air Much smaller diameter pipes than air-ducts Electrical consumption for circulation pump is lower than for fans Lower noise level Less risk for draught Lower building height Higher efficiency of energy plant But Reduced capacity? Acoustic? Latent load?
