Characteristic parameters of a hypocaust construction
Building and Environment, 1998Abstract Hypocaust, an ancient Roman concept for keeping the inside of buildings warm, has been explained with a survey of a few modern buildings based on these concepts and using solar heat employing a number of design variations. Results expressed in terms of energy requirements per m2 of floor area per degree day comes out to be minimum (15.4 kJ m−

Evaluation of hypocaust heating of buildings
International Journal of Ambient Energy, 1999SYNOPSIS Hilly areas usually need heating for comfort inside the building. Passive techniques such as direct gain, Trombe wall and the solarium can be incorporated for space heating. These techniques have already been studied in detail and are well understood.

A Note on The Roman Hypocaust, the Korean On-dol, and the Chinese Kang
Architectural Science Review, 1987The Romans developed the hypocaust in the first century BC as a suspended floor supported on columns, which was heated by hot flue gases produced by a furnace at one end and exhausted by a chimney at the other. Later the flues were channelled under the floor and eventually passed through flues in the walls to heat also the vertical surfaces.

Sergius Orata: Inventor of the Hypocaust?
Phoenix, 1996ties of the mysterious entrepreneur Sergius Orata, though various other comments and anecdotes help fill out the picture to some degree.l On the basis of these scattered notices, some postulate that Orata invented the hypocaust, the system of underfloor heating used in Roman baths, and therefore occupies a central role in the early history of the ...

How the Romans got themselves into hot water: temperatures and fuel types used in firing a hypocaust
Environmental Archaeology, 2009AbstractThe remains of hypocausts are noted as being widespread throughout the Roman Empire but, whereas the structure of hypocaust systems has been widely documented, primary knowledge of operating temperatures is limited. The petrographic technique of reflectance microscopy is used here to quantify cell wall reflectance values for charcoals from the ...
