Radiant heat is simply a form of
energy that heats objects
directly through a process called conversion, without having to heat the air in between.
5) A warming effect in the atmosphere arises because between coming in and going out the
radiant energy is «processed» by the molecules in the atmosphere into heat
energy and then back again, often many times for a single parcel of
radiant energy, the number of times being
directly proportionate to the density of the atmosphere.
The rooftop solar thermal panels produce hot water that flows through
radiant tubing in the floors to heat the house; the rooftop photovoltaic panels are net - metered so that during the week when we're in L.A. and the house is empty and the
energy goes unused, it is pumped
directly back into the grid and creates a credit at the local utility.

directly with less solar
radiant energy and as reduced ozone warming by solar ultraviolet radiation.
«The Stefan — Boltzmann law states that the total
energy radiated per unit surface area of a black body across all wavelengths per unit time (also known as the black - body
radiant emittance or
radiant exitance) is
directly proportional to the fourth power of the black body's thermodynamic temperature».
