Overhead Heating
Engineers are generally aware of the problems that arise with heating systems dependant upon overhead air distribution. Buoyancy of warm air must be overcome by the strategic placement and selection of diffusers and such air distribution systems should be avoided in favour of other types of low level heating, e.g. under sill or floor supply, skirting convectors or panel heating.
The problem is exaggerated in colder climates where it may be necessary to employ double glazing to reduce heat loss and high velocity down drafts at windows.
Where it can not be avoided however, the compromise can be improved by using the following guides outlined in the link below.
