He mentions Uponor in the subject, so I think he means quick trak.

    Sure

    home runs would be a good way.

    First check your loads. 9731 BTU/hr for a 153 square foot room seems awful high? Over 60 BTU/ sq. ft? Way beyond what that floor area could provide.

    Remodel

    Warmboard is a little tough to use for a remodel. Do you have access from below? If you do, Radiant Engineering's Thermofin might be an option. If not, a product like Viega's Climate Panel, Rehau's Raupanel, or Thermofin could be used above the floor also.

    If you can centrally mount a manifold in a closet and make the piping easier, that would be my choice.

    Btu sqft

    I have to agree with HR on this. Btu per sqft way to high. Rmemeber when doing a radiant heat loss you cannot use a hydronic heat loss program unless you calculate the change in air exchange and design temp as we do not use the same numbers.

    would two buderus or myson type panel rads...

    entice you to bag that idea?

    i have a feeling that these rooms must be uninsulated or "look outs" from an attic...even so, maybe more insulation is Key ingredient...just thinking out loud here *~/:)

    i live a bit North of you and i would consider rebuilding the exterior wall if the heat loss was that high or at least getting an opinion from an isothene type (spray foam) insulator before proceeding much further...
