Any energy you put into latent heat will come back later.


Latent heat, as in evaporation?


With out without a phase change (though there wouldn't be one in a
hydronic system). As long as it's a closed system the heat comes
back.

As long as you don't get condensation mold shouldn't be an issue.


To avoid mold, keep the RH below 60%.


You have to avoid anything in the room below the dew point too.
Windows and frames often "sweat".
