Space heating

Transferring heat

Depending on the indoor environment and other factors, heat can be transferred using radiators, floor heating or air heaters. The use of hot water for space heating, especially via radiators, is very common. An alternative to radiators is under-floor heating, where heat circuits are placed under the floor. An air heater, blowing hot air into a room, is more commonly used in public buildings.
