Hi.

I have a Revit model that contains ceiling heating/cooling (using BEKA capillary tube mats - see https://www.beka-klima.de/en/heating-...). It is somewhat like floor heating, except different. :-)

Heating only via radiation (and then the heated surfaces radiate and heat by convection) and cooling via convection (contrary to floor heating where not much would happen, here the cooled air drops from the ceiling).

I'm asking - as an investor - for pointers how to model that, because all the people I've hired so far and who claim to be skilled in EnergyPlus simply did so "using a radiant floor as it's the closest to BEKA heating", which I am afraid is way off.

Thank you Aaron for your thorough and in-depth answer. This gives me quite some threads to follow already. My comment a
