description The paper presents a numerical assessment of various room heating methods using assembled room models. It compares the efficiency of floor heating, ceiling heating, and plane radiator heating in a selected room of a family house under winter conditions in the Central European climate zone. COMSOL Multiphysics software is used for computer simulations, and the output data are subsequently processed and analyzed using MATLAB software. Results indicate that floor and ceiling heating systems achieve higher and more rapid temperature increases compared to plane radiators. The distribution of air temperature within the room is also analyzed, revealing that floor heating provides the most uniform temperature distribution. These findings contribute to the development of effective heating strategies for residential buildings in similar climatic conditions. Furthermore, appropriate processing of output data obtained from computer simulations using artificial intelligence tools enhances the accuracy and efficiency of numerical analysis methods.
