Engineers at EPFL have studied the use of construction slabs that serve both as structural building elements and floor heating systems. Made of composite materials, these slabs could deliver heating performance on par with conventional radiant heating but consume less energy. Thermal Engineering for the Built Environment Laboratory (TEBEL) Alexandre Mudry, Dolaana Khovaly and Thomas Keller won the Best Paper Award for their research.
