<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>One technique used to model
radiant floors in eQUEST is to do a Q=mc(delta T) calculation of the
capacity of the radiant system for each thermal zone of your model (a hydronic
system I'm assuming). This number can then be put on a schedule in the
"Internal Energy Sources" tab in the Detailed Edit Mode for Internal
Loads. Although time consuming, it is a more accurate way to model this
type of system because you can also input sensible/latent heat gain ratios for
the system.</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was wondering if anyone know how to model a system
with radiant floor heating? Would a simplified, yet someone accurate alternative
(energy consumption wise) to knock down the heating thermostat a bit due to less
actual heating needed for human comfort? Any help is greatly
appreciated.</FONT></P>
