This new 2016 edition of the Guide is the result of work undertaken by the Domestic Building Services Panel of CIBSE. The Panel has recognised that the use of under-floor heating has increased significantly in the UK and Ireland and seen the need for the provision of additional advice on the subject, specfically for those operating in the Domestic Sector. Equipment manufacturers provide comprehensive instructions and training in the design and installation of their own products.
However, with the more widespread use of floor heating there is a requirement for a more general level of advice on design and installation procedures. This Guide is to be read in conjunction with the Domestic Heating Design Guide which covers the main elements of domestic heating system design. The requirements of underfloor heating and the modifications which have to be made to the normal design process to allow for the specific attributes of floor heating are covered in this publication.

This volume, is part of “CIBSE Guide B: Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration”, providing guidance on the practical design of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. The guide, released by the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), was published in five separate chapters. The specific chapter deals with the selection, design, commissioning, operation and management of most types of heating systems in buildings. It focuses specifically on nondomestic buildings; however, much of the contents will apply to domestic communal heating.
