This paper examines the characteristics of electric heating system using off-peak electricity and compares the heating characteristics of electric heating and radiant systems. And we examined the comfort of occupants according to the heating systems by measuring the superficial temperature of human body models which is located in experimental space. From this study, we obtained the brief results as follows. The electric heating system with thermal storage have several advantages, one of which is to be able to maintain the optimal indoor temperature in a very short time at the beginning of heating due to the radiant heat and the control of indoor temperature deterioration. We confirmed that the electric heating system with thermal storage of heating systems considered in this experiment might improve the comfort of occupants by comparing the temperature difference between the upper and lower space.
