All Building Heating Systems

Systems built into the fabric of a building to warm its rooms, such as the Roman hypocaust, which circulated hot air under the floor, and modern underfloor heating and cooling by water pipes or electric cable. An invention belongs here when the cited article describes it as a system for heating or climate control built into a floor, wall or structure of a building. It excludes free standing stoves, fireplaces and portable heaters.
