    Zman, Looks like you have a computer program that takes into consideration the insulation in walls and ceilings and also what type of windows are in the building.
    My addition was built 15 years after the house both use Andersen casement windows. The U value for the house glass is .52 and the U value for the addition glass is .28. so the addition has a little better glass in it.
    Your program uses gross wall exposed not net wall exposed But your heat loss makes more sense than slant fin's or Ashrade's.
    The number you used for glass is correct the gross wall is 477' exposed so you were a little shy there but maybe for a reason.
    What is the SWAG, or what does SWAG stand for Supply Water A____ G______

    I did not really want any baseboards in that room but to have baseboards maybe in the center of the south wall and in the center of the west wall glass would make more sense.
    Would it be better to run 180* water to the baseboards first then mix down for the floor?
    Could I run 180*water through the low Temp baseboards and use less lineal feet of them?
    That heat loss program, I assume that has to be bought from some company? It would be nice to have but I would not use it enough to make it worth while,I think.
    Zman, thanks for doing that heat loss, you have been a lot of help with my project.

    thermal window treatments would be very beneficial at design temps, and nights.
