My shop is 60 X 60 X 14 with in floor radiant heat. It has no problem at
all staying warm with a 100,000 btu boiler. One thing you need to remember
is with radiant floor heat you will not have the thermostat set as high,
you don't need to. When we first turned ours on we set it at 70 and that
was too warm. Sweating warm when we were working on something. We now
leave it on about 60 or so.

I have all kinds of pictures of the shop construction, but nowhere to host
them so screw it. 8-)

Did you consider solar?


Are you kidding? How many square feet of collectors would it take to get
70,000 BTU's?

I really think that 70,000 BTU's may be calling it close. May have to put
another 40,000 unit in to help on the bad days.

Nice job. Build something in there to make your building proud!
