Looking for a designer to help with whole house system for my remodel

honeybyte

Hey everybody,

So I am remodeling my house down to the bones and wanted to install a silent cooling and heating system. I decided radiant floors were the way to go for heating and cooling with a whole house fresh air circulation system to control humidity and air quality. While I do have a few people i have talked to, I am located in cincinnati oh, and I cant find anyone specifically that can help me with a comprehensive design.

I was hoping i might work with someone to design the system, so I could implement with the help of local help. I have architectural plans, strucutral plans, and a preliminary layout using geothermal for the system, but really need a pro at this point.

Anyone got any ideas on how to find someone legitimate to help me get this over the finish line?

To give an idea, this is what I have so far, but I realize it is probably lacking in most of the required detail. I am running a home-assistant automation backend to maintain and control things. I am a computer engineer by trade.

you're going to have to be really careful about who installs it too, it seems like getting what is on the plans you give them is very difficult in every realm of construction

Radiant cooling is a wonderful idea and can be tough to get it right. Dave mentioned that you can only get about 8 BTU's/[] from tubing in the floor which may not be enough. And that's bare concrete. Forget about any wood on top. Radiant in the ceiling fares much better.

All the piping has to be well-insulated with special insulation to prevent condensation.
