RESEARCH ON IMPROVING THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF ELECTRIC UNDER-FLOOR HEATING SYSTEMS INTEGRATED WITH AUTONOMOUS POWER SUPPLY
This paper reviews how electric underfloor heating combined with autonomous power sources, such as photovoltaic panels, thermal storage, and phase-change materials, could make residential heating more energy-efficient. Drawing on international research, it argues that low-temperature underfloor systems can reduce energy use and heat loss compared with radiator or forced-air systems while improving thermal comfort. The abstract presents these advantages as promising rather than quantified, so specific savings figures are not stated here.
