    Some questions for the tankless HWH radiant floor guys..

    The shop is 30x48x12 pole barn with scissor trusses fully insulated with 2" foam underneath and around of the edges of the 4" slab. R-19 in the walls and r38 in the ceiling and the garage doors are insulated. I have 5- 1/2 loops in the slab spaced at 12" and each loop is 287' long.
