When the cement screed of a traditional radiant system heats up, it acts as a radiant system. With a dry system, is it possible to retain heat and radiate it slowly in the same way?

In a traditional radiant system, the screed had precisely the function of a thermal “flywheel”; this function of storing heat and then releasing it over time—called “high thermal inertia”—which was once the strength of underfloor radiant systems due to the poor insulation of homes (which were actually “low inertia”), is now in complete contrast with the current envelopes of new homes.

The modern home, which has become “high inertia” (and therefore very slow to dissipate the heat produced inside, rather than to accumulate that coming from outside), needs a climate control system that works in the opposite way, in order to guarantee the best comfort for the inhabitants, giving them the ability to easily manage the indoor temperature.

Kilma Futura is a system that combines the guarantee of innate comfort —which has made underfloor radiant systems so popular over the years—with rapid response in start-up and shutdown, allowing radiant systems to meet the control needs of new homes while simultaneously increasing the system’s energy savings.
