The recently added Kiva ground heat transfer model can be used to perform detailed ground heat transfer from basements and slab-on-grade floors. Currently there is no method in EnergyPlus for estimating the heat loss to ground from slab-on-grade radiant floors. In this proposed task the ground heat transfer model Kiva would be linked to the low temperature zonal radiant floor model. Research has shown that heat loss from slab-on-grade radiant floors can be significant and should be accounted for when modelling these types of systems.
