My plans call to forced air heat, but I am wanting to change up to radiant floor heat.
I went with ICFs/crawl space (actually ended up being a 5'4" crawl space).
I am in cold climate and will be installing electronic fans for venting that can be shut off in the winter. Rather then go with forced air I want to go with radiant floor heat. For me its better because I can do the work myself because I do not have HVAC experience, but also cold feet suck.
I have 2x10 floor joists 16 o/c with 3/4" T&G OSB. Single story duplex w/ engineered trusses. I know my inspector wont care as long as I am complying with international building code but does anyone see a problem with switching to radiant floor heat and pouring 1 1/2" of gypcrete on the floor? I am adding quite a bit of dead load but with 16 o/s I really dont see a problem with it. I had built my door rough ins 1 1/2" high just in case I decided to do this a few months back and think its better way to go for me.
Anyone that has experience with this feel free to chime in.
