A method is provided of constructing rooms provided with a radiant heating system or a cooling system comprising radiant or cooling panels connected to the walls, the ceiling, or the floor of each room and forming a thermal medium cavity, wherein there may circulate a thermal medium which transmits heat to the radiant panels or receives heat from the cooling panels. At least the walls and the ceiling are pre-fabricated components capable of bearing static loads and the interiors of the walls and the ceiling, facing the remainder of the room and the panels, contain respective pairs of adjacent parallel troughs of curved or part-polygonal cross-section. The troughs in the walls are vertical and the ceiling is applied so that they merge streamlined with the troughs in the ceiling. The panels are suspended from supports on the walls and the ceiling with interposition of a resilient packing.
