Proposal of a PCM Underfloor Heating System Using a Web Construction Method
International Journal of Polymer Science, 2017 Apartment buildings in Korea have adopted underfloor heating systems using web construction methods based on concrete and hot water systems. However, since such systems consume significant amounts of energy for heating owing to their low thermal storage ...
