[BLDG-SIM] Radiant Floors in eQuest

Title: Radiant Floors in eQuest

In eQUEST, there is a system type for in-floor heating: FPH for floor panel heating. 

 

The manual suggests a lower setpoint is appropriate as the model is driven on space drybulb rather than mean radiant temperatures.  Based on one hangar model we worked on, I would suggest a space temperature of 68F.

I was wondering if anyone know how to model a system with radiant floor heating? Would a simplified, yet someone accurate alternative (energy consumption wise) to knock down the heating thermostat a bit due to less actual heating needed for human comfort? Any help is greatly appreciated.
