    Heat loss

    Is heat loss.

    That program should work fine.

    Radiant heat loss

    I'd be using a program that's specifically designed for radiant applications like the Uponor ADS or Viega's software. Both will allow "what if's" that show design temps and flow rates for a suspended application with plates or without. Then you can see the difference and design accordingly. The S/F program uses the Manual J calcs. Radiant values are lower and using the S/F program for other than baseboard or radiators will tend to oversize the system.
