A friend asks:

Industry practice is to locate heating radiators (most often fed via a
reticulated hot water system) under windows.

Nobody can tell me why this is done and to my mind it would perhaps be 
the
worst place from an energy efficiency point of view although there may 
be
other reasons (like reducing convective draughts within the room  - 
which
can reduce the apparent temperature by several degrees) why it is a 
good
idea.

I would hence appreciate your commentary as to what you would expect 
to be
the optimum location for a radiator and why.

Any thoughts?
