POSSIBILITY OF APPLICATION OF RADIANT CEILING SYSTEM FOR HEATING SPORTS HALLS

Abstract

The low-temperature panel heating system offers special benefits in terms of heat comfort and energy consumption, which allows for its combination with lower temperature sources (for example ground heat). Such systems, however, are not suitable for the heating of large buildings, such as sports halls. This study analyzed the possibility of implementing a radiant panel ceiling heating system with a gas boiler for heating a sports hall located in Belgrade, Serbia. The paper aimed to show that the temperature at the entrance to the ceiling panel affects the ambient conditions in the sports hall, with a temperature range of 40 to 90°C. This paper analyzed the behavior of the mentioned heating system depending on the value of the heat transfer coefficient of the elements of the thermal coating (carpentry, roof, and external walls). The research was carried out through numerical simulation of the dynamics of building energy performance BPS (Building Performance Simulation) using the EnergyPlus software package.
