Optimal PI control parameters for accurate underfloor heating temperature control [PDF]
In low energy buildings, the effect of internal and solar gains on heat balance of rooms is large. As a result, the heating systems, designed assuming steady-state conditions with no heat gains, are over-dimensioned for most of the heating period.
