在过去的15年里，辐射冷却地板已经成功地应用于许多项目，许多ASHRAE以及其他同行评审的论文都是关于这些项目的。Olesen和Simmonds报道了冷却地板的对流冷却性能；Borressen（1994年）报道了辐射冷却地板的太阳能吸收，Simmonds、Gaw、Holst和Reuss（1996年）、Simmonds（2006年）进一步报道了这一点。通过这项研究，可以预测不同类型地板的性能，以确定哪些地板对辐射冷却的响应最好。本文解释了每种常用地板的性能，并分析了预测每种地板类型产生的条件的模型的结果。 引用:ASHRAE论文CD:2014 ASHRAE冬季会议，纽约

Radiant cooled floors have been successfully used on many projects over the past fifteen years, and many ASHRAE, as well as other peer-reviewed, papers have been written on these projects. The convective cooling performance of a cooled floor has been reported by Olesen and Simmonds; Borressen (1994) reported on the solar absorption of a radiant cooled floor, which was further reported by Simmonds, Gaw, Holst, and Reuss (1996), Simmonds (2006). With this research, the performance of different types of flooring could be predicted to see which ones responded to radiant cooling the best. This paper explains the performance of each type of commonly used floor and analyses the results from a model that predicts the conditions created by each flooring type.
