<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi all,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am currently modeling an overhead radaiant heating system in a large industrial building. The application is similar to a Public Works garage, large overhead clearence (50' center height), insulated metal building, space doesn't have to be heated but they need heating for employees at the ground level.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I plan on using DOE2.2 because I don't have the budget for using a more appropriate modeling tool. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Does anyone have good ideas about how to approach this using a DOE 2.2 model? </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">My initial thoughts have focused on reducing the space temperature setpoint but how much is appropriate 2 degrees , 5 degrees or 10 degrees ? Are there any papers or articles that discuss air temp vs mean radiant temp of the surrounding mass while using overhead radiant heaters?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Many thanks in advance for any help/guidance that can be offered.</FONT>
