John Siegenthaler, the hero of high-mass heated floor hydronics for the USA, has recently been giving quite a few seminars on the topic of quick-response low-mass hydronic heating systems.

Lots of emphasis on hydronic radiant ceilings, hydronic radiant walls, high-efficiency low-mass low-temperature active radiators (with small fans).

I can imagine how some of these ideas could be combined with your predictive scheme.
