Hello all, I have been reading alot on here. Please forgive me if I'm asking the same ol questions,
New house over older basement. ( late 70's). 32x43 footprint....Floor is 2x4 trusses 11, 1/4 inch...3/4 plywood for subfloor. Basement is waterproofed from inside on all walls. will be studded out and 1" of spray foam against concrete, then r13 batts, then drywalled. sill areas also spray foamed. So, Basement will be very sealed up... Upstairs, walls are 6" sip walls, 9' high. standard roof trusses and will get r60 blown in cellulose. Windows are anderson casement type. Very very tight build, I'm going to use an outside wood boiler. have 45 acres of woods, so i'm set for wood. Plus I'm heating a 40x40 shop as well. My big question is, I'm going to staple up pex between joists, so what would be my best way of doing this? The basement will be heated. Probably radiant baseboard type. probably in the 68-70 degree range. And I want main living area to be 70 Degrees.
Pex....Reflector plates.......R19 kraft faced FG......Drywall.....Does this make sense.?....Then run 120-130 degree water.........I'm going to use a 3 head mini split heat pump for a/c. and a tankless water heater for domestic water and backup for radiant floor.........I hope Ive explained this correctly, so you experts have a good basis to help me out.
Thank you in advance for any help. ..........I'm in madison Wi. does get freekin cold here......lol.......Jim
Also, I'm installing an air to air exchanger. Could I install a small hot water coil inline with the output of exchanger to buffer incoming air temp into house?
