In Phila, we might let floor leakage supply half the heat on a 30 F day,
ie about (70-30)10 = 400 Btu/h. If the 6'x6' store is 150 F on an average
day, it can supply 400 Btu/h through a (150-70)6'x6'/400 = R7.2 floor.
Not until you tell us how you're replenishing the heat in the under-floor
storage.
I've done that.
It's easy for someone to just say that heat leakage up from the under-floor
storage will *help* heat the building. But a *true* engineer would have
some detailed figures on that heat storage.
You got 'em :-)
Until you do a *real* study of the under-floor storage and its energy
'cycle', claiming any benefit from it is just 'smoke and mirrors' trying to
"baffle 'em with bull****".
I disagree.
