Cooling is obtained with under-floor cooling by reversing the cooling cycle, which allows the water circulating under the floor to be cooled instead of heated. The temperature of the floor water can thus be lowered to 20°C.
The heat drawn from the building is evacuated via the collector (horizontal, vertical, groundwater or air collector).
In this configuration the heating floor is neutralised and the additional fan convectors enable the rooms involved to be cooled and dehumidified. Humid areas (e.g. bathrooms) and rooms with a covering which is not compatible with cooling (solid wood parquet, fitted carpets etc) must be neutralised. This technique enables temperatures to be reduced by up to 4°C.
