is there any benefit to thermal mass with screed systems?

A popular misconception is that thermal mass, or screed holding heat, is a benefit. In reality, it takes hours to warm up and cool down, resulting in a system that needs constant trickle feeding to maintain an ambient temperature, even when not in use. It is a store of energy that you need to put in, to get out. This leaves users with an uncontrollable system, which is far from ideal when trying to warm up. It is even worse when trying to cool down a space, often requiring opening windows to adjust the temperature. This is not the most efficient use of energy. It is better to use energy when you need it, where you need it.
The Wunda rapid response system solves this problem by putting the energy straight into your room. Using low water temperatures (as low as 30 degrees). Users can warm rooms as needed rather than maintaining a constant trickle feed when rooms are not in use. While quick heat-up and cool-down chemical screed systems are available, they are a hassle to retrofit. In contrast, the Wunda rapid response system is easy to install, offers the same energy-saving benefits, uses low-temperature water, and provides better control.
