This document establishes requirements for the installation of embedded radiant heating and cooling
systems. It specifies general and uniform requirements for the design and construction of heating
and cooling floors, ceiling and wall structures to ensure that the heating/cooling systems are suited
to the particular application. The requirements specified by this document are applicable only to the
components of the heating/cooling systems and the elements which are part of the heating/cooling
surface and which are installed due to the heating/cooling systems.
This document is applicable to water-based embedded surface heating and cooling systems in
residential, commercial and industrial buildings. The methods apply to systems integrated into the
wall, floor or ceiling construction without any open-air gaps, but are not applicable to panel systems
with open-air gaps which are not integrated into the building structure.
