辐射示范计划（RDP）是为东北部一个大型退休独户住宅社区的管理协会制定的，目的是为供暖系统改造选择提供比较数据。对19种设计的约100个被占用单元的控制和改造前后能耗数据进行了两年至四年的监测。所涉及的供暖系统包括电动隐藏式天花板辐射板；快速作用，天花板表面安装的辐射板；底板加热器；鼓风炉；标准空气、高效空气和地热热泵；以及燃气强制通风高效熔炉。所有机组都有单独的空调系统。快速辐射板的安装和维护成本显著降低。对于所涉及的系统而言，快速辐射板的能源使用相对较少，与之前的相对舒适度和实践占用的兴趣相比，节省的范围显然有所不同- 基于室温控制。单位:I-PCITION:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，1998年，第104卷，pt。1A，旧金山

The Radiant Demonstration Program (RDP) was developed for the management association of a large retirement single-family housing community in the Northeast for the purpose of providing comparative data for heating system retrofit selection. Control and pre- and post-retrofit energy consumption data were monitored for two to four years in approximately 100 occupied units of 19 designs. The heating systems involved encompassed electric concealed ceiling radiant panels; fast-acting, ceiling surface mounted radiant panels; baseboard heaters; forced air furnaces; standard air, high-efficiency air, and geothermal heat pumps; and gas forced air high-efficiency furnaces. All units had a separate air-conditioning system. Significantly lower retrofit installed and maintenance costs were demonstrated for the fast-acting radiant panels. Comparative energy use of fast-acting radiant panels was less for the systems involved, with the range of savings apparently varying in relation to previous relative comfort and interest in practicing occupancy-based room temperature control.Units: I-P
