Mike Conneely walks through the installation of a radiant floor heating system in a new home's basement, explaining the planning and coordination that take place before the concrete slab is poured. He covers sub-slab insulation, vapor barriers, wire mesh reinforcement, and the layout of PEX tubing used to deliver efficient hydronic heat. The discussion highlights how different rooms are divided into heating zones for comfort and control, along with considerations for boiler placement, venting, and manifold locations. Conneely also explains tubing spacing, heat distribution strategies, and the integration of radiant heat into specialty areas such as curbless showers, offering a practical look at energy-efficient home construction and mechanical system design
