Thermal Dispersions and Buildings
The calculation of the thermal requirements of buildings is governed by the current national regulations present in every country. The analytical evaluation of thermal dispersions is set for steady-state conditions, taking into account the average climatic conditions of the coldest period of the year for heating.

Heating Systems
As is evident, the purpose of a heating system is to maintain indoor air and radiant average temperatures compatible with the comfort conditions of the occupants. To this end, various solutions can be adopted, from ancient solutions like stoves and fireplaces to current autonomous systems for individual housing units, or finally, centralized heating systems for entire buildings.

Heat Distribution
Circulation pumps are designed to circulate water in the distribution network and are generally located downstream of the heat generator. This allows for heat exchange with a certain flow rate of water at a certain temperature difference, for example, ...
The following distinction is used: Two-pipe system, Monotube system, System with parallel collectors.

System with parallel collectors
The currently most adopted type of system is ...
Radiators
The heat transfer fluid flowing through suitable devices, users, or user terminals called heating bodies provides each room with the thermal flow necessary for its heating....
Towel Warmers
The user terminals installed in the bathroom environment are called towel warmers...
Electric and Mixed Operation
There is another way to heat the water present in the towel warmer without using a boiler....
