Underfloor Heating Design

h2x allows engineers to create accurate underfloor (radiant) heating designs quickly.

 
Based on your heat loss and system settings, h2x provides automatic sizing calculations and loop generation.

 
Additionally, h2x exports detailed reports, custom PDF drawings, and a comprehensive list of materials.

How Does h2x's Underfloor Heating Service Work?

Check out the steps involved to design efficient and accurate underfloor/radiant heating systems in h2x:

Underfloor Heating Heat Load Calculations

Heat Load Calculations: Draw your room layouts directly in the h2x design software to perform detailed heat loss calculations based on materials, air changes, and other factors. Already have a heat loss value? Simply input it to streamline the process.

Underfloor Heating System Sizing

System Sizing: Add your manifold, define unheated areas (e.g., beneath kitchen islands), and let the software automatically generate loop layouts and transit pipes. Calculations are tailored to your floor finish, water temperature, preferred loop layout, and more.

Underfloor Heating Reports

Reports and Client Drawings: Create branded drawings with custom cover sheets, notes, and title blocks. Include manifold and coil schedules, and share links with external stakeholders for easy access on tablets or other devices on-site.

Underfloor Heating Bill of Materials

Bill of Materials: Download a complete materials list tailored to your design. It includes the floor area, manifold, coils, valves, actuators, and other components. Streamline your procurement and quoting process.

Underfloor Heating Design FAQs

CASE STUDIES
Award-Winning Heating Design

"Using h2x was pivotal, allowing for precise heat loss calculations, pipe sizing and flow rates for each room.

This level of detail ensured that the heating load accurately matched each space's requirements, minimising energy waste and maximising comfort.

The strategic placement of heat pumps and careful sizing of pipework were crucial in maintaining minimal pressure drops over an 18-metre distance."

CASE STUDIES
Greengate, UK

"I would estimate over the length of this project, I have spent 50% less time designing than I would on our previous software.

The ability to output the design straight into Revit assisted clash detection and coordination."

CASE STUDIES
Salon Republic, USA

"The quality of the designs saw significant improvement with the adoption of h2x."

"The software offers precision through detailed result outputs and advanced options for efficient pipe sizing, allowing heating engineers to optimise based on parameters like maximum velocity and pressure drop."
