Abstract. Nowadays, choosing a suitable heating system is important due to the increasing energy
consumption in residential buildings. In choosing the optimal heating system, various factors such as installation and maintenance costs, uniform heat distribution, internal air quality and thermal comfort index are considered. In this paper, research on the above factors for floor heating systems, corrosion radiators and panel radiator has been investigated and the results have been analyzed. According to the analysis, the radiator panel system is not suitable for heating goals, and the floor heating system is the most suitable system for this purpose.
Keywords: Floor heating; Corded radiator; Panel radiator; Heat distribution; Thermal comfort.
