Project: Conventional Housing Hydronic Radiant Ceiling Panel Heating/Cooling System:

          In 2008, Talbott was nominated to front Yolo Habitat for Humanity’s hydronic radiant ceiling panel heating and cooling systems for its local projects in Woodland, CA. These three Spring Lake Village conventional custom houses (shown above) were built to meet the California Title XXIV energy criteria, which ensured energy efficiency for all three affordable housing units.  Talbott’s radiant heating and cooling system helps reduce building energy requirements and increases comfort.  Solar electric energy systems were included in the design. 

   Chiller Installation: "House A"

Picture
Wrightsoft energy software was used to model the buildings and size the equipment. Heating and domestic hot water is supplied by Quietside dual function water heating appliances. 

   Manifolds: "House B"

Picture
Cooling is supplied by York condenser based chillers. Viega tubing and "te.sa" Allora International hydronic manifolds distribute the building energy. Hydronic fan coil units are used for dehumidification. 

xLath™ Installation:"House C"

Picture
xLath™,Talbott's patented hydronic radiant ceiling panel assembly provides the building energy interface. Honeywell IAQ thermostat provides space conditioning control interfaced with a Taco switching relay and a Grundfos circulator.

"House A"'s average temperature over five days: Resulted in 98F max outdoor air temp.

Before the Talbott Team could install xLath™ modules in the housing units, they needed to collect data. Hobo data loggers, devises that read changes in temperature, were used during commissioning to verify system cooling performance.  

At the outdoor design temperature, 98F, the living room maintained 60F, and the western upstairs bedroom maintained 76F.

This radiant heating and cooling design is viable for conventional residential buildings.
