Abstract
The use of air-conditioning systems for cooling in residential buildings has negative effects on the environment and causes the problem in peak electric power demand in summer. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the potential of radiant cooling systems using ondol as an alternative cooling system in our residential buildings. Computer simulation has been performed for the floor radiant cooling system performance. The results of this study show that. 1) This system can control the temperature of Ondol room within comfort limits. 2) This system can be operated with a little risk of condensation but the control of latent heat will make this system more potential.
