that can meet the load and heat the space.

If you have a heatload and design on the system it should provide the temperature requirements. Generally at design (coldest) day.

The Quiktrac design guide will show outputs for that system at various S&R temperatures.

So you can back into the answer or go forward in for the answer.

Is it working now and maintaining a comfortable room tempreature?

A good idea to watch the floor surface temperature. most agree below 85F is a safe number.

Be sure the boiler and the piping is correct to work at those low temperatures. If it is a cast or copper boiler it would need a mixing device and low return protection device, or control.
