Heat is a form of energy right? So if we take away the energy from the Air we have concentrated some heat elswhere which we should be able to harvest? So i ask myself why are Air conditioners not a source of energy?

    Radiant heat is great, and heat pumps absolutely can and should be used to supply the heat. Radiant cooling, while technically possible, has a lot of downfalls, forced air is your best bet there. The same heat pump can be used for both though, just need a valve to switch between different supply loops.
