Baseboard to Radient question

eraskal

I need to move some baseboard heaters around due to renovations (moving a wall and replacing a window with a door).  The affected run of the hot water is through the kitchen, the dining room, the living room then back to the heater.  I was considering changing the kitchen part of this to underfloor radiant since it is over a basement with easy access and I am going to tile the kitchen floor.  I originally thought it was as simple as changing the kitchen baseboards to pex under the floor, insulate between the joists.and then have the water continue on through the baseboards of the other two rooms.  How wrong am I?

The radiant would have to be a seperate zone with a mixing device that is able to lower the 180 degree water temp that the boil is currently making to the water temp that your heat loss/design tells you.

Thanks - I'm starting with an HVAC book from the library (interesting reading) - glad I found this site BEFORE starting work!
