hydronic
Heated by water
Hydronic describes heating or cooling systems that transfer thermal energy using water or other liquids circulated through pipes.
A hydronic heating system might run hot water through radiators or under-floor tubing: The house has hydronic radiant floor heating.
The term distinguishes water-based systems from forced-air alternatives.
