German term
Raumkühlung / Raumheizung
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Construction / Civil Engineering
I am translating a manual for a domestic heating and hot water system that can also be used for cooling. These 2 terms are used as opposites but I am not keen on space cooling as suggested by a glossary - how about air conditioning and heating - leaving Raum out?

space heating/space cooling
Is the terminus technicus. Please don't group more than one term into one question. See the link for space cooling.

Note from asker:
| The links you provide all seem to be about factories, industry large spaces. This is domestic and the reason I put both terms is they belong together in the text. Thanks anyway |

Nor do I believe you should just drop the "Raum". It is a common enough term even in a manual for the "layman". It amounts to dumming down.
