Does heat loss software for radiant differ in that you need less btu/hr because of the mass that is transmitting the heat to the space/people?

    Radiant Heat Loss Program

    Does anyone know of a radiant heat loss / design program that has warmboard as one of the methods?

    I use thin slab concrete setting for Viega's program when figuring warmboard - so far its worked ok.

    Mass is just a flywheel.

    it smooths things out at the price or responsiveness.


  • You've actually got a safety factor built in doing that, if you're doing reset water temps/consistent circulation. Not a huge one, but this is a decent band-aid method until software catches up.
