Comfort map with radiant systems

Hi there,

I’m currently trying to model a simple radiant system (specifically, a thermoactivated slab) in HB using the radiant HVAC system following this topic, but I’m facing some challenges.

I have two questions:

  1. When setting the setpoints for the HB radiant HVAC system, how can I specify the setpoint as the operative temperature? Does the program automatically detect and account for this?
  2. Is this type of system included in the MRT calculations for both PMV and UTCI comfort maps? For some reason, this doesn’t seem to be working in my case. I have run several test but the radiant temperature does not change.

For context, I’m only using the radiant surface for cooling.
