In this article the specific heating and cooling capacity of the ceiling TABS was determined. The step of tube laying varied and was 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 cm. Determination of the specific heating capacity was carried out for th /tc = 35/31; 36/32; 34/30 oC. The determination of the specific cooling capacity was carried out for tcold /theated = 15/18; 16/19; 16/20oC. The radiant heating system based on ceiling TABS allows providing the necessary heating capacity to fully cover the heat loss of the room. The maximum values of the carrier temperature are th /tc = 34/30 oC. In the warm period, the ceiling TABS does not allow to provide the necessary cooling capacity of the room. Thus, the greatest cooling capacity of TABS is observed at coolant parameters tcold /theated = 15/18оC, which allows covering about 70% of the estimated heat gains of the room. Therefore, during the hours of peak heat gains an additional cooling device should be used in the room.
