[QUOTE="windthrown, post: 854716, member: 11682"] Yah, I wish the carport slab here was poured with a hydronic loop in it. I could de-ice the thing in cold snaps. Also when a warm front hits after a cold spell, the condensation is really bad and water builds up all over the slab (concrete colder than ambient air). I could heat the slab and get rid of the water. Also warm the carport to work out there in cold weather. Radiant heat is really nice to keep warm. All the rest of the above options/advice sound good, like the flat plate Hx on the slab loop. One thing about antifreeze in the boiler loop is that it is not as good a heat conductor as water. If you have to use antifreeze, use propylene glycol, and not ethylene glycol (highly toxic). [/QUOTE]
