Although radiant cooling has a limited scope of applications where it is viable, in specific applications, radiant cooling is an effective means of providing cooling comfort to occupants. Typical complaints, such as increased condensation and cold floors, are outweighed by the comfort it provides to occupants via sensible cooling. While it is limited as a building conditioning technology, it shines as an occupant comfort measure. Radiant cooling is only suited for sensible cooling, as any latent cooling (i.e., dehumidification) will result in condensation on the cooled surface, which would create the usual problems that moisture creates.
