Abstract 

Numerical simulations are used to assess the efficiency of floor heating, ceiling heating, and plane radiator heating in a selected family house room under winter conditions in the Central European climate zone. COMSOL Multiphysics software was used for computer simulations. The output data were subsequently processed and analyzed using MATLAB software. Results indicate that floor and ceiling heating systems achieve higher and more rapid temperature increases compared to plane radiators. The distribution of air temperature within the room was also analyzed, revealing that floor heating provides the most uniform temperature distribution. These findings contribute to developing effective heating strategies for residential buildings in similar climatic conditions. Furthermore, appropriate processing of output data obtained from computer simulations using artificial intelligence tools contributes to increasing the accuracy and efficiency of numerical analysis methods.

Instructions: 

 

The DataPort includes:

  1. The directory "DataSimulations
    Dataset recorded by computer simulations of the temperature distribution inside the rooms heated by radiators, floor heating, and ceiling heating. The output values of the air temperature inside the room were recorded at a time interval of 2 hours. Both a model with thermal insulation inserted between the heating foil and the wall and a model without thermal insulation were tested.
  2.  The "HeatingModels.mp4" graphical video abstract.
