On balancing heating of the loops concept:
After the emitters are installed, you can wait for cold weather & use an IR gun on each loop, then choke off the hotter returns. This is a waste of pumping energy.
Much more heat is lost along the outside perimeter and close to doors & windows than than in the center of the heated space.
A good strategy is to place more pex in those areas, such as 4" On Center vs. 8-12" in the center etc.
Any ideas on how to apply some science to this?
