Varied Coverage — Use this
method when the major heat load
is at the perimeter, but a small
load is anticipated in the interior
of the building. Small loads may
come from air changes or heat
losses through the ceiling. Install
the tubing 12 inches on center
near the perimeter and at increased
distances (18 to 24 inches on
center) in the interior areas.
Reduced Coverage — Use this

factors, some general guidelines
are helpful.
The most significant envelope heat
losses occur near the exterior walls,
especially near exterior windows
and doors. Begin the tubing run in
these areas. Additionally, shorter
tubing runs in high heat-loss areas
result in higher average water
temperatures. Higher average
water temperatures satisfy the
heat load faster.
When the primary heat loss of

envelope, areas without exterior
