Excerpt from Performance of Hot-Water Panel Heating Systems in High-Rise Apartments of the Chicago Housing Authority
The Chicago Housing Authority constructs and operates a large number of high-rise apartment buildings for low-income families in metropolitan Chicago. Extensive use has been made of hot water panel heating systems in these apartment buildings with the heat being distributed from central heating plants. Records of fuel consumption over a period of three years indicate that some of the lower values of annual fuel consumption per room have occurred in buildings with this type of heating system.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the performance of hot-water panel heating systems used in high-rise apartment buildings constructed in Chicago during the 1960s. The study evaluates the effectiveness of heating concrete slabs to deliver heat both upward and downward and examines how factors such as outdoor temperature, room exposure, and apartment location impact thermal comfort. The author presents detailed measurements of temperature distribution, ventilation rates, and heat output from both floor and ceiling surfaces. They provide recommendations for improving the control system and ventilation to optimize temperature distribution and save fuel, suggesting a multi-zone control system to address the specific challenges faced by these buildings. This book offers valuable insights into the design and operation of hot-water panel heating systems in high-rise apartment buildings, making it a useful resource for building engineers, architects, and anyone interested in improving the energy efficiency and thermal comfort of such structures.
