Dual temp piping

Basic question here.
(See pic)
On this type of system, is this a typical setup,  or how could it be improved? For instance, can the in-floor loop have ODR in someway?
The boiler could of course but is the in-floor stuck with 100 degree water (per 3-way setpoint) as long as the boiler buddy storage is above that point?
Thanks!

What type of boiler are you running? What is the lowest temperature the fan coil can run and supply adequate BTUs?
I like 2 or 3 pipe buffers.
That tank really lends itself to a 3 pipe, like this.
The Taco I-mix valves are popular for adding ODR to a zone.

How are you controlling the temperature the the buffer tank?
Easiest may be you can switch the 3 way to a motorized 3 way control with outdoor reset.
Second way could be switch to a 4 way motorized mixing valve with ODR.

Thanks guys.
This is a co-workers future project. Since I love to read on this site ,I thought it a great chance for me to learn and  for him to get a decent system.
There has been no sizing done  yet. ( I posted this while waiting for parts to arrive for my next service call)🙂
I did tell him to get as large a FC as he could to try to take advantage of a modcon.
He guessed at an 80k WM Evergreen unit.
Infloor is for a 30 x 40 once-upon a time pool room, now filled and will get 4" concrete. Lots of windows. Rest of capacity goes to FC for house.
That's about all I know.
I stressed the importance of a good heatloss calc.
