This looks to be a really great resource you have linked to... very well presented.

One of my favorites is the Watts Radiant computer program called RadiantWorks, it's free. It appeals to me because it is so easy to do "what ifs".

However, your resources should work just great for you.

Good luck on your project and be sure to keep us updated as you go along, we all want to see your progress.

BTW, have you made a decision as to what method you intend (oil, gas, electric, firewood, solar, geothermal, air source heat pump,etc) to use to heat your hydronic water? That can make a big difference in your design.

...and while I have your attention, what is your zip code? I can do a degree day calc for you.
