Abstract
Analysis of radiant floors heated by electric cable in industrial building application. This study focuses on the experimental analysis of the thermal behaviour of radiant floor heating in an industrial building and the authors conclude that in order to reduce costs and increase user comfort, optimum values of concrete conductivity and embedded depth of the heating element need to be selected.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
