Radicalising climate control, Radiana is a revolutionary closed loop hydronic ceiling system which responds to factors such as body heat to create the perfect indoor environment. Unmatched by other cooling products, Radiana also contributes to three WELL™ concepts: thermal zoning, thermal comfort and humidity control.
An invisible alternative to traditional air conditioning, Radiana provides a unique ‘3D’ cooling effect, creating the ultimate thermal comfort and sense of wellbeing for those using the space – all while being kinder to the environment with up to 30-40% energy savings, zero CO2 emissions, reduced carbon footprint and less maintenance, compared with air conditioning systems.
Radiana’s innovative ceiling panels and tiles can be easily and quickly installed into the ceiling or walls in the place of plasterboard, making the system completely invisible. Cold water passes through the pipes within each panel and, as heat always travels to colder areas, any heat radiated from objects and the rest of the room is absorbed.
When 70% of the ceiling surface area is fitted with ‘active’ Radiana ceiling panels the result is a highly desirable ‘3D cooling’ effect, with no hot or cold spots within a room because radiation expands equally in all directions.
Due to the radiant energy transfer method, the Radiana system is silent running as it cools or heats an environment without the draughts, noise or the dehumidifying effects associated with traditional air conditioning. This not only provides the ultimate thermal comfort for everyone using the space to enjoy, wherever they are situated in the room, but also greatly improved air quality. With Radiana there are no blasts of air which, especially if recirculated, could also spread virus particles around and dehumidify the atmosphere.
Radiana has also developed an app, which provides intelligent control of the system and the ability to create different temperature zones within each room depending on solar gain and personal preferences. Radiana is also designed to effortlessly integrate with existing and emerging renewable technologies, with heat pumps being a natural choice to pair radiant water-based systems.
Another crucial benefit of Radiana at the build stage, is ease of installation and sequencing. In the same way as traditional plasterboard is fitted, these innovative radiant cooling panels are quick and easy to attach directly to the ceiling frame. When it comes to installation, specifying Radiana will reduce the number of trades to co-ordinate at site as there’s no need to sequence hot works or handling of ozone damaging gases, which further helps to keep each project on schedule.
Radiana Pricing Overview
A typical four-bedroom house with Radiana will cost £70/m2, going up to £150/m2 depending on which system configuration is selected.
