In this study, the thermal performance of the room control system is analyzed in terms of control performance, potential for coil expansion and energy consumption through experiments comparing the individual room control system and an existing system. The results of this study show that the existing system is not able to supply design water flow rate and does not accurately maintain the set point temperature in each room. However, the individual room control system can set a room air temperature for each room, for it is able to supply design water flow and accurately control the set point temperature in each room and can reduce the energy consumption compared to the existing system. Moreover, the individual room control system can reduce the number of coil division zone and facilitates the construction process, because it can extend the length of the coil division.

In this study, the effects of heating control methods on heating control performance and energy consumption in the floor radiant heating control system of residential apartments were research by computer simulation. A general regression neural network(GRNN) control method for reducing indoor temperature overshoot and saving energy in floor radiant heating system is suggested. The GRNN control method shows good responses in comparison with the conventional and outdoor reset control methods for improving indoor thermal environment and reducing energy consumption.

Korea residential housing generally use wet floor heating system 'Ondol' which consist of insulation cushioning, lightweight foamed concrete, hot water pipe and mortar on top of reinforced concrete slab. Wet floor heating system's installation process is too complicate and difficult to supervise field for continuing assurance quality. Also, this method has a huge impact on the progress of construction because it take a long time to cure finishing mortar and lightweight foamed concrete. Therefore, it is considered a disturbance factor of reduction of construction duration for enhancing competitiveness. In this study, we conducted an experiment about the radiant heat performance and temperature difference on upper panel of rolled dry floor heating systems which is jointly developed by Kolon global and Sumisho Metalex for remodeling housing, studio apartment and the urban-life housing.

In this study, the effect of hot water supply flow rates on energy consumption for radiant floor heating system in apartment were researched by computer simulation. The parametric study of different hot water supply flow rates was done with regard to energy performance and control characteristics, respectively. Also the effect of different hot water supply flow rates on the hot water supply temperatures is studied. As a result, energy consumption were reduced but the response time is increased by reducing the supply flow rate. And energy consumption can be saved by adjusting the hot water supply temperatures with different supply flow rates.

In this study, the control strategies of indoor air temperature in floor radiant heating system were researched by computer simulation. The temperature difference based time control method using the difference of indoor set temperature and indoor temperature is compared with the existing On-Off control one for heating control performances. As a result, the temperature difference based time control method shows better thermal environmental characteristics in case of selected operational conditions in comparison with existing control one.

In this study, existing control methods that are suggested or applied until now are classified by control parameters, and stability of in the room and floor surface temperatures of each control method is compared through experiments. Then, the control performance of these control methods are analyzed to evaluate the applicability to Korean apartment housing. From the result of the applicability analysis, the outdoor reset with on/off PWM control is found to be desirable for district heating systems and flux modulation is found to be applicable for decentralized heating systems. In the case of independent control systems for each room, on/off PWM control is desirable.

A simulation and experimental study for energy flow dynamics of floor radiant heating system were performed. The study was done under both environmental chamber and a house with several rooms. The unsteady energy analysis method using equivalent R-C circuit and radiation heat transfer analysis of enclosure analysis method with simple structured rooms were used for computer simulation. Also, first order dynamics with time delay in analyzing the return water was considered. The results of temperature changes of the simulation study are good fit with the ones of experimental one.

In this study, the effects of various operational conditions for floor radiant heating system were researched by experiments. Hot water supply set temperature, indoor air set temperature and supply water flowrate were considered as operational conditions. The control method for this system is On-Off control of automatic thermostatic valve. The purpose of this study is to evaluate indoor thermal control characteristics and energy performance, respectively. As a result, if lower supply water temperature is applied, the supply and return temperature difference is reduced and energy consumption of heat supply is also reduced.
