I am building a passive solar house and have considered a radiant floor but am now thinking that would hurt the preformance of the mass that is supposed to absorb the suns heat, as it would always be warm. Also as a slow constant heat it seems like it would be inappropriate to quick recoverys as when you go into your office and want to heat it up rather than always keep it warm. any thoughts?
