This article features an analysis of the active radiant hydronic system as a thermic mass cooling system of concrete and the time which this cooling process is being made on the sub-humid mild climate temperature (Mexico City, Mexico) and the warm humid climate temperature (San Pedro Sula, Honduras). The research develop two concrete prototypes, a hydronic system and the another one as a reference to compare the system functionality. On Mexico City’s weather, the concrete thermic mass diminishes 6.73 °C in comparison with the environment temperature. At San Pedro Sula, the concrete thermic mass diminishes 3.32°C in comparison with the environment temperature as well. Reason why this system’s functions works better on sub-humid mild climate temperature because of the high dew temperature is lower than the warm humid climate temperature, so that the water temperature circulation is lower, leveling up the heat absorption from the concrete thermic mass.
