A Research on the Indoor Thermal Environment in Livingroom with Radiant Floor Heating System - Casestudy in Korea and Japan -

The purpose of this study is to find out the present thermal environment of the Korean livingroom in comparison with the Japan's. Thermal environment of the livingroom with radiant floor heating system in Korea and Japan is analysed. The surveys and measurements are took place in two detached houses and two apartments in Seoul, Korea and two apartments in Tokyo, Japan for a 48-hour period at the beginning of March, 2003.
