In this study, radiant cooling panel is designed for a classroom. An arrangement is made such that the panels cover 70% of ceiling area. For study case a classroom is considered which need 27 such panels for covering 70% of area. The arrangement of panels, water flow rate, required temperature and amount of heat transfer taking place through panels is discussed in the paper. A cooling system is selected for maintaining the desired water temperature. Comparison is done between the cooling systems and the user can use any of them according to the requirements and cost. This system does not use any refrigerant hence it is environment friendly and can add a considerable solution to maintain temperature of a specific area. CFD analysis of the panel shows that adequate heat transfer takes place between panel and the room, this validates the design. When 15 ºC water is given as inlet to the panel, we get 22 ºC water as output at outlet of panel. In this paper, analysis is done for single panel same can be done for entire arrangement of panel structure.
