A radiant cooling system provides a comfortable indoor environment by absorbing body heat and radiating it to cooler surfaces. Unlike traditional air conditioning, it doesn’t create drafts or dry out the air. Leading manufacturers include Uponor, Viega, and Mitsubishi, each with unique specialties and market presence. Installation requires expertise and licensing, with trained professionals specializing in plumbing and mechanical operations. The Radiant Professionals Alliance and IAPMO promote best practices and set industry standards, ensuring the efficient and reliable operation of radiant cooling systems.
