Description
Summary:	Dynamic heating computer simulations of one model typical living room heated alternatively by two types of heating bodies are presented in this paper. This contribution describes a numerical model of two heating elements (plate radiator and a new type of convector) showing different thermal inertia by using the TRNSYS software. The results show energy savings approximately of 10% for the new tested convector, where the thermal comfort is better in terms of reaching the required room temperature.
