Publication of the CSTB practical guide "Low temperature (reversible) floor heating and cooling - 2nd edition"

This guide details the design, implementation and maintenance of this equipment, whether for heating or cooling.

Highlights

Focuses on all components of the installation: insulation, tubes, fittings, collectors, diffusion layer, reinforcements, floor coverings, heat transfer liquid.
Based on the latest texts in force and in particular on the new revised NF DTU 65.14.
Particular attention is paid to thermal regulations, RT 2012 and RE2020 because the PCRBT is directly affected by these regulations.

Design, implementation and maintenance

A low temperature reversible heating-cooling floor (PCRBT) correctly sized and made with materials selected and implemented according to the rules of the art will have many advantages: gain in reactivity and homogeneous ambient temperature, for example.

This guide recalls and details the key points to respect for a successful installation:

the operating principles
design and sizing elements
the characteristics of materials and materials
the key points to respect when implementing the different components of a PCRBT
the attention to be paid when commissioning the PCRBT.

This edition benefits from a new model and a new cover and is based on the latest texts in force and in particular on the new revised NF DTU 65.14 integrating the requirements of CPT n° 3164 on reversible floors and the NF standard EN 1264.
