Description

This paper describes the status of ASHRAE Research Project 1140-RP, Monitor and Evaluate a Year-Round Radiant/Convective System. It describes an environmental control system recently installed in a new single-family detached residence in Arizona and reviews the instrumentation. The house was built of heavy mass (adobe) construction and incorporates radiant surfaces in both the ceiling and the floor supplied by a hydronic source (ground-source heat pump). A convective system provides replacement ventilation and dehumidification control. A control system controls operative temperatures and indoor humidity. An ASHRAE research project has been funded to provide data on the operation of the house over a one-year period. The objectives of the project are described.
