Air systems

It is another variation on the Termodeck system ( www.termodeck.com). All of the "disadvantages" claimed in the article for "wet systems" are pretty well old news and not an issue any more with current practice and materials, and yes, you CAN do cooling from a hydronic radiant system AND deal with the ventilation function as a separate system. Air is an insulator and a ventilation source for breathing and pollution removal. Using air for heating and cooling is not the best use of energy and energy transport.
