Here in the south we need air conditioning. This is not a defect in the southern character - when it gets DAMN hot, you need a place to cool off.

And this means forces cool air through a duct system. I know, I know, a small pipe can carry 1000 times more "cooth" than a similar sized air duct. But the problem is that we also have humidity.

Combine a very nice cool floor (or wall, or ceiling) with a air dewpoint only a few degrees higher and you have condensation. Not good.

Radiant flooring is still to die for in the winter . . . . can we have both without breaking the bank?
