What is radiant heat and why does it matter?
Radiant heat is energy. It has no temperature as it travels through your living spaces; however, when this energy strikes an object, it is absorbed and increases the temperature of that object. The object then emits this energy out the other side causing heat loss or heat gain through the building envelope. A whopping 75% of the heat transfer in your building envelope is in radiant heat energy. Reducing heat gain and heat loss due to radiant heat can dramatically increase your comfort and reduce your energy costs.
