Today's Radiator: Historic Integrity Paired with Optimal Heating Performance

Objectives

1. Discuss the history of the cast-iron radiator and its contribution to buildings for over a century.
2. Explain the types of heat transfer and how the radiator warms a room more effectively while reducing energy consumption.
3. Describe the radiator restoration process including the steps to electrification. Explain how the electric radiator supports today’s multi-zone management.
4. 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.
5. Describe a case study and third-party analysis of the energy and cost savings after restoration and electrification of a church’s historic radiators.
