Room with Intelliohm FH 230

Room with radiators

Optimum comfort

With floor heating it is possible to lower the room temperature with 2-3 ºC and still maintain a pleasant indoor environment. Your wellbeing is at it's best when the temperature is 24-25 ºC under your feet and around 18 ºC at chest height. With underfloor heating it is what you achieve. Another advantage is the lowered amount of dust and particles in the air resulting from less air circulation. Respiratory problems - dust allergy will diminish.

Energy Savings

By substantially lowering the room temperature without loosing comfort the energy consumption goes down. However a prerequisite is that the sub floor is properly insulated. The self regulation will have the effect that heat is generated and delivered where it is most needed. The heating mat is also equipped with a foamed plastic insulation. Since the heat source is in direct contact with the surface flooring the heat is directed upwards and not downwards. This will in turn result in a lowered energy consumption. The system will have a low thermal inertia - the time to heat the floor will be short. This allows for the use of a programmable thermostat with lowered temperature settings during night and also during the hours of day when nobody is at home. It is difficult to give a precise estimate how much you can lower the energy costs using IntelliOhm's Floor Heating. A rule of thumb is the energy saving is up to 15 - 20 % in comparison with radiators.

Cold Feet

With wall mounted radiators the heat accumulates under the ceiling. Hot air goes upwards. The air circulation in the room warms the walls and the ceiling. The floor will become the coldest part of the room. The air circulation will also increase the amount of dust and particles in the air.
