    That is a pretty tall request...someone may post some pics, but your contractor should do this...and I am sure someone here will critique it for you. MANY factors contribute to this, boiler type, house's real heatloss calculations, emitter type, and so on...Have you read any books on this subject? 'Pumping Away' and 'Primary / Secondary pumping made easy' come to mind...both in the online store. There's a lot to this, and not just any old diagram will fit your home and family's needs.

    I saw your other request, Sean

    and would have to respectfully decline for professional reasons. If you get Siggy's books or Dan's books on the subject, you could take it pretty near to completion and run by the results for critique.

    Not to dump it all back onto you but a request for advice is one thing, for design/engineering services is another and could be a tall order. There is liability and jurisdictional aspects to that, I hope you understand. Even giving general advice is a fine line, relying on the judgment of others.

    You may find another who could help or whom you could hire in your area, but I must respectfully decline.

    A well designed multi zone radiant system takes time and expertise to plan.

    This said there is a wealth of information out there for those who are literate on the subject.

    I would recommend the Tekmar web site, lots of information here that could be helpful. Look over the essay section for some good description of control strategies. Lots of schematic drawings as well.

    Remember these drawing are not a substitute for the work of an experienced design professional.However if your willing to invest some energy in understanding the options you are better equipped to ask relevant questions.
