Abstract

The paper is presented a heating system installed in the church and the interior climate generated. Thermal Comfort is the purpose of each designer, from the design stage, and has to be ensured for the churchgoers, but even for the interior finishes. The heating system that uses hydronic radiators is evaluated through the CFD modeling, in order to evaluate pro and contra arguments. The simulation has been made in a 3d simulation software environment, in Autodesk CFD with good results.
