south central, ky
Zone 1 approx 750 sq feet of storage are in basement kind a garage area maybe will put 1000 gal storage here also in future in slab hydronic.
Zone 2 approx 900 sg ft of kitchenette, recreation room, and bathroom in slab hydronic
Zone 3 approx 900 sg ft of two bedrooms an office and theater room in slab hydronic
Zone 4 DHW side arm in a 50 or 80 gallon electric
Zone 5 Plenum heat exchanger for 2600 sq ft main floor
Zone 6 Master Bath under floor staple up to subfloor/tile floor hydronic with floor temp thermostat 180 sq feet
Zone 7 Kitchen breakfast area and mud room 450 sq ft under floor staple up to subfloor/tile or brick paver floor in floor temp thermostat
Zone 8 Kids bath underfloor staple up to subfloor/tile hydronic with floor temp thermostat 100 sq ft

Zone 6,7,8 are for the convienenc of heated tile floor zone 5 exchanger will be primary heat in these rooms also. I will probably have to reduce blower fan speed and damper the air duct runs to these areas?

Is there a better way than 6 zone valves or pumps and manifolds for the 6 radiant zones.

all opinions are needed and greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
