The Impacts of a Building’s Thermal Mass on the Cooling Load of a Radiant System under Various Typical Climates

Cooling load is difficult to predict for a radiant system, because the interaction between a building’s thermal mass and radiation heat gain has not been well defined in a zone with a cooling surface. This study aims to reveal the effect of thermal mass in an external wall on the transmiss...
