Tempering heating is a form of convection heating that is installed either into - or adjacent to - walls to moderate the temperature and moisture levels inside the room. This form of radiant heat distribution was introduced in 1982 by the Bavarian State conservation office).

As a form of climate control, tempering heating developed as a method to manage rising damp problems in museums where the moisture and its related consequences (such as mould and bacteria) could damage pieces of artwork and other vulnerable items from their collections. Since rising damp is said to be caused by capillary action drawing moisture up through porous elements of a building’s fabric, it was also believed that tempered heating could be an effective method for heating places of worship, fortresses and other historic buildings constructed from stone.

= A type of radiant heating =

A tempered heating system generates a steady flow of warm air that travels through a collection of looping tubes to the shell of the building. This approach reduces the capillary distribution of all forms of dampness while heating the room at the same time.

This type of radiant heating system warms surfaces that then turn re-radiate heat and warm air adjacent to them by convection. This allows heat from a radiant source to distribute through a space. Because it is directly heating, rather than heating the air (as in convective heating), it can be more efficient, particularly in large spaces, in spaces with poor insulation or in unenclosed or semi-enclosed spaces.

A tempered wall radiant heating system tends to be low-temperature systems spread over large surface areas. It heats certain walls continuously throughout the year, while others are only heated when colder temperatures are expected.

= Benefits and drawbacks =

Compared to other forms of heating, radiant heating (depending on the system used) can be:

* More healthy, separating heating from ventilation, and so reducing problems associated with dust, pollen and other pollutants.
* More durable.
* More comfortable, giving a more even temperature distribution.
* More instantaneous.
* Space saving and unobtrusive.
* Quieter.
* Less expensive to run in certain situations. Low temperature systems in particular can run at a lower overall temperature than conventional heating systems whilst still achieving comfortable conditions.
* Easier to maintain.
* More directed.

Radiant heating also has less impact on air moisture content than other heating methods. However, depending on the system adopted:

* High temperature electric radiant heaters can be expensive to run.
* It can impose restrictions on floor and wall coverings.
* It can be expensive to instal.
* It can be less effective at cooling, and there can be condensation issues.
* There can be poor familiarity amongst designers and installers.
* It can be difficult to retrofit.
* It can be difficult to repair.
