Course description
Purposeful materials selection is a priority in any design. For restorations and renovations, product selection means more. Professionals who re-use the building’s existing materials not only preserve historic beauty but also reduce the embodied carbon of the building. On a rare occasion, a re-used product can deliver even more.
This course features that one product – the cast-iron radiator. Of course, we’ll discuss the history and beauty of the radiator. Most importantly, we’ll talk about how a century-old product can deliver a modern, energy-efficient heating system with less environmental impact than other options.
Learning Objectives
- Discuss the history of the cast-iron radiator and its contribution to buildings for over a century.
- Explain the types of heat transfer and how the radiator warms a room more effectively while reducing energy consumption.
- Describe the radiator restoration process including the steps to electrification. Explain how the electric radiator supports today’s multi-zone management.
- Understand the radiator’s contribution to green building as the ultimate re-use example. Explain the product’s closed-loop life-cycle, reduced embodied carbon, and lower energy consumption.Â
- Describe a case study and third-party analysis of the energy and cost savings after restoration and electrification of a church’s historic radiators.
