Can the same radiant panel provide both heating and cooling?

Yes.
A hydronic radiant panel can provide both cooling and heating by changing the temperature of the circulating water.
In cooling mode, relatively cool water removes heat from the room.
In heating mode, warm water releases heat through the panel surface.
The same distribution system can therefore support year-round indoor climate control, provided that the system is properly designed for both operating modes.
A heat pump can be used as the heating and cooling source, while intelligent controls manage water temperature and system operation.
