New constuction radiant house

ed m

building a new house gonna have radiant heat through out house,slab in bsmt. an mud job in rest of house. Going to use a he mod con boiler with indirect water heater. Being that all the temps going out to radiant are all going to be the same do i need any additional temp.controls like mixing valves? I know boiler has built in board for dhw and outdoor reset and i will need relays for zoning.But wondering what if any i need for temp. control.

thanks

All temps

How did you arrive at all temperatures being the same?  By most design standards having two different types of installation (slab & thin-slab) there is often the need for different temps.  Have you done a room by room heat loss calculation? 



I try to design all my systems on one temp as a rule to eliminate the need for added controls if possible.  This almost always requires added tubing in areas of higher load.  Have you taken this into consideration?

Do continuous flow!

I would try to design using one temp using reset, TRV's,on your manifolds, combined with continuous flow via a Grundflos Alpha. With a proper heat loss, you would just add more tubing  if your loss is significantly more or add secondary emitters such as panels.



Why not enjoy a Euro style system with max comfort levels and true energy savings?
