I am going to build a 12' by 40' hoop house next spring.
My question is gas it too high so im looking for another way to heat the greenhouse either with radiant floor or hot water/steam unit heaters.
Can you run radiant tubing in concrete or use hot water/steam unit heaters with an electric water heater.

any information or links would be greatly appreciated

Jerry

This link: http://www.ext.vt.edu/pubs/greenhouse/430-101/430-101.html#L2 describes the efficiencies of different systems. The insulated warm floor system is supposed to be the most efficient. Hope this helps a little.
