TOPIC: Using Embedded Tube Radiant Cooling Systems to Maximize Energy Efficiency 

        BY: DEVIN A. ABELLON, P.E.

Uponor North America
Phoenix, Arizona

 Mr. Abellon is a registered professional engineer with over 20 years of experience in the HVAC field, designing systems for commercial, institutional, industrial, health care, and municipal projects.  Mr. Abellon was Vice President and managing principal of LSW Engineers California, Incorporated in San Diego until 2009, when he accepted a position as Business Development Manager for Uponor North America.  He now works closely with engineers throughout the country, supporting projects that integrate radiant heating and cooling strategies to maximize energy efficiency.

Mr. Abellon earned his B.S. degree from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1993.  He is an active member of ASHRAE at the local chapter, regional and Society levels, currently serving as Programs Subcommittee Chair for ASHRAE TC6.5 – Radiant and Convective Space Heating and Cooling, Vice Chair for Membership Promotion, and Nominating Committee Region X Alternate.

TopicUsing Embedded Tube Radiant Cooling Systems to Maximize Energy Efficiency

Topic Description:
As more and more jurisdictions and building owners are requiring higher levels of LEED certification for their projects, design teams are looking beyond traditional HVAC solutions to provide the energy efficiency needed to maximize LEED points while maintaining occupant comfort and safety.  In-slab radiant heating systems have enjoyed popularity both here in the United States and abroad for years.  Now, with the availability of improved control systems and better understanding within the design and construction community, the same concept can be applied to radiant cooling as an energy-efficient and cost-effective solution.  This program will cover the following topics:

 

                Radiant Cooling Heat Transfer Fundamentals

                Radiant Cooling Performance/Capacity

                Typical Construction Methods

                Case Studies

Attendees will gain an understanding of how in-slab radiant cooling systems can be used as part of an energy-efficient design solution to maximize energy efficiency, and see examples of how this has been accomplished on projects both here in the United States and abroad.
