I am trying to assess the UTCI for an outdoor space that has radiant cooling (below tiles).
what is the best way to carry out this study. I am not a very advanced user of the ladybug tools. I have created the UTCI workflow and I can tell from the visualization map that it is working fine, but I am unsure how to incorporate radiant cooling.
I appreciate your assistance. Thank you
hey, on a very high level, you can try using Other Side Temperature component to assign calculated surface temperature of the radiant floor. The downside of this simple approach is that it will ignore or heavily simplify the absorption of the solar radiation by the ground surface.
Otherwise, you can try using the ground component and modify the “construction” to have a radiant ceiling by following the ironbug sample for radiant cooling. It will allow you to simulate the system itself, but require you to have some skills with ironbug.
