Conduction is the process by which heat is transferred from the hotter end to the colder end of an object.
See Underfloor heating and Thermal conduction
Thermal conductivity and resistivity
The thermal conductivity of a material is a measure of its ability to conduct heat.
See Underfloor heating and Thermal conductivity and resistivity
Thermal efficiency
In thermodynamics, the thermal efficiency (\eta_) is a dimensionless performance measure of a device that uses thermal energy, such as an internal combustion engine, steam turbine, steam engine, boiler, furnace, refrigerator, ACs etc.
See Underfloor heating and Thermal efficiency
Thermal manikin
The thermal manikin is a human model designed for scientific testing of thermal environments without the risk or inaccuracies inherent in human subject testing.

Thermal mass
In building design, thermal mass is a property of the matter of a building that requires a flow of heat in order for it to change temperature.

Thermography
Infrared thermography (IRT), thermal video and/or thermal imaging, is a process where a thermal camera captures and creates an image of an object by using infrared radiation emitted from the object in a process, which are examples of infrared imaging science.

Thermostatic radiator valve
A thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is a self-regulating valve fitted to hot water heating system radiator, to control the temperature of a room by changing the flow of hot water to the radiator. Underfloor heating and thermostatic radiator valve are residential heating.

Tile
Tiles are usually thin, square or rectangular coverings manufactured from hard-wearing material such as ceramic, stone, metal, baked clay, or even glass.

Usonia
Usonia is a word that was used by the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright to refer to the United States in general (in preference over America), and more specifically to his vision for the landscape of the country, including the planning of cities and the architecture of buildings.

Ventilation (architecture)
Ventilation is the intentional introduction of outdoor air into a space.

Virus
A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism.

Wood grain
Wood grain is the longitudinal arrangement of wood fibers or the pattern resulting from such an arrangement.
See Underfloor heating and Wood grain
World energy supply and consumption
World energy supply and consumption refers to the global supply of energy resources and its consumption.

Zero-energy building
A Zero-Energy Building (ZEB), also known as a Net Zero-Energy (NZE) building, is a building with net zero energy consumption, meaning the total amount of energy used by the building on an annual basis is equal to the amount of renewable energy created on the site or in other definitions by renewable energy sources offsite, using technology such as heat pumps, high efficiency windows and insulation, and solar panels.

41 Cooper Square
41 Cooper Square, designed by architect Thom Mayne of Morphosis, is a nine-story, academic center that houses the Albert Nerken School of Engineering with additional spaces for the humanities, art, and architecture departments in the newest addition to Cooper Union's campus in Cooper Square, Manhattan, New York City; there is also an exhibition gallery and auditorium for public programs and retail space on the ground level.
