The objective is to produce a recommendation for Bonava's future constructions regarding heating systems and installation methods. The report consists of a comparison between radiator system and underfloor heating by looking at the installation costs and the thermal comfort. It consists of a quantitative survey with measuring instruments to find out variations in the indoor temperature. The content can be used as guidelines for construction planning for apartment buildings to see which system that is most suitable for the cause. Based on the result, it can be concluded that the radiator system is cheaper to install than an underfloor heating system. The radiator system provides a more even indoor temperature. Radiator systems can therefore be said to be better from the thermal comfort aspect. Our technical examination and calculations indicate that the radiator system is cheaper and better seen for thermal comfort. Our recommendation to Bonava is therefore to choose this system. We also found through the index that it was a smaller difference between installation costs for the systems the larger the apartment area was. In terms of price, the difference between the heating systems is small when you consider the life-span of the systems. Installation costs do not therefore have to be decisive, but other factors may need to be taken into account in the choice of system.
