Thermography for assessing the thermal performance of innovative geopolymeric radiant panels

One of the last scientific activities of Ermanno Grinzato was the research on radiant heating and cooling systems. In addition to providing a novel view for thermal and thermographic testing of these systems, he had foreseen the importance of using efficient and sustainable materials. Firstly, this work introduces the issue of testing radiant heating and cooling systems and the arising interest in geopolymers. Afterwards, the synergy between these two research fields is highlighted by the realisation and testing of a novel geopolymeric panel.
