"Having gone through a long journey of thirty years"

The development of China's underfloor heating industry has always been closely linked to "environmental protection and energy saving". Since the promotion of underfloor heating, it has been sufficiently publicized that the underfloor heating system is superior to the traditional metal radiators which are high-energy consuming, low-comfort, and difficult to control. After years of exploration and practice, the hard-won development trend proves that the inherent advantages of underfloor heating technology and the tireless, down-to-earth actions of the underfloor heating professionals are effective and remarkable! The electric underfloor heating system, with its significant advantages in energy saving, environmental protection, and health care, has a comfort level and temperature control ability far superior to the hydronic underfloor heating system. Nowadays, the electric underfloor heating system has deeply penetrated into the hearts of a large number of consumers, leading the way in the low-carbon era.

Strictly speaking, the development of heating system technology and product application, especially the development process of metal radiators, has a history of more than twenty years. However, the undeniable fact is that the application of centralized heating, especially municipal centralized heating construction and application, is only used in limited areas of core cities and some second and third-tier cities. In the 9.6 million square kilometers of land area, the proportion of people who can enjoy warm winter heating conditions is negligible - at least, winter heating in vast rural areas has not been included in the municipal heating plan. Second and third-tier cities and a large number of bungalows do not have heating facilities, and regions south of the Yellow River even lack real heating facilities and conditions.

The development of metal radiators is earlier than underfloor heating. However, based on various statistical data, the heating coverage rate before 1978 was also at a low level, similar to China's economic development level at that time. Solving the food problem for over a billion people was the top priority for policymakers. From hunger and cold to comfort and livability, it took thirty years of arduous journey. Radiators can be proud of their achievements within thirty years of reform and opening up, but there is no need for underfloor heating to be overly arrogant.

After the state abolished the welfare housing distribution policy in the 1990s, a significant extension issue arose: the conflict between the welfare nature and the commodity nature of heating. The concepts of "individual household measurement and individual household control" and the technical regulations were incorporated into the agenda of the industry administrative department ten years ago. Various actions and policies were successively introduced, and various capitals entered the research and production of supporting products. However, everyone ignored the most basic and fatal issue - the control and measurement of heat supply are not simple technical problems. Without clarifying the focus of economy and technology, rushing ahead will hurt more than just the passionate entrepreneurs and capital. At one point, heat meter manufacturing enterprises were excited about a once-in-a-century prospect, investing heavily in R&D, innovation, and patents, but the actual benefits and performance were abysmal, and the reasons were debatable...

Focusing solely on technical confidence while ignoring macro analysis appears苍白and powerless in front of the market and results.

Welfare housing? Commoditization of heating? Individual household control, individual household measurement? Energy saving, emission reduction? Underfloor heating? Automatic control system? Mandatory implementation of civil building energy-saving design? Application of peripheral protective structure technology? Low-carbon economy? Heat reform...

The application and advancement of technology serve the socio-economic environment and cannot be separated from the larger context of socio-economic development. It is said that doing business in China requires studying politics and policies. In fact, studying enterprise development and social development is the same principle.

With the passage of time, the technology and products of the underfloor heating system have increasingly enriched the selection options. Centralized heating underfloor heating systems, gas wall-hung boiler individual household underfloor heating systems, electric cable underfloor heating systems, electric heating film underfloor heating systems, heat pump underfloor heating systems, solar and auxiliary heating underfloor heating systems, ultra-thin underfloor heating systems... All these are optional solutions that can be matched with the technology and products of the underfloor heating system itself, which are easy to control and measure individually. Over the past thirty years of reform and opening up, we have not only improved our national strength in socio-economic development but also gained enough confidence to digest and absorb advanced product design concepts from abroad and innovate technologies suitable for China's national conditions. The development of the underfloor heating industry has become the best choice for improving living environments and reducing carbon emissions in winter residential heating. A large number of underfloor heating professionals have broadened their horizons, honed their skills, and practiced systematic problem-solving abilities. Providing diverse heating solutions to society has become possible. Underfloor heating professionals spread across the country can timely introduce technology and products to ultimate decision-makers... construction units and owners. A high-level technical promotion and application cause is quietly gathering strength and making a name for itself.

The Chinese underfloor heating industry needs to make contributions in the low-carbon economy and low-carbon era. By delving into the matter itself, we have reason to believe that in the near future, we will truly achieve a complete chain of low-carbon actions in design, construction, and use. The enormous Chinese market and vast market capacity are outstanding contributions to the global low-carbon society! Whether it is new residential buildings or existing buildings, our population base and rapid national economic development potential are incomparable to any other country.

The wisdom and courage of us underfloor heating professionals, more importantly, set an example for our peers. We also believe that the electric underfloor heating system will become the main force in the underfloor heating industry. Let us together experience the comfortable heating system of energy saving, environmental protection, and health care - the electric underfloor heating system.
