Insulation Quality: Walls, roof, and floor insulation significantly impact heat retention.
Windows and Doors: Quality and type (double-glazing, seals) affect heat loss and gain
Flooring Material: Different materials (tile, wood, carpet) have varying thermal conductivity.
Subfloor Insulation: Insulating beneath the heating elements reduces heat loss to the ground.
Heating System Design: Layout, spacing, and type of heating elements influence heat distribution.
Room Size and Shape: Larger and irregularly shaped rooms require more energy to heat uniformly.
Ceiling Height: Higher ceilings may need more energy for effective heating.
Furniture Placement: Large furniture can obstruct heat distribution.
Outdoor Temperature: Colder external temperatures require more energy to maintain indoor warmth.
Sunlight Exposure: Rooms with more sunlight can benefit from passive solar heating.
Thermostat Settings: Desired temperature settings and how often they are adjusted.
Occupancy Patterns: Frequency and duration of room use affect heating requirements.
Air Leakage: Drafts from poorly sealed windows/doors and other gaps.
Ventilation System: Mechanical ventilation and air exchange rates impact temperature stability.
Energy Source: The efficiency and cost of the electricity used for heating.
System Efficiency: The efficiency rating of the electric floor heating system.
Thermostat Type: Programmable, smart thermostats can optimize heating schedules.
Zoning: Ability to control heating in different zones/rooms independently.
Supplementary Heating: Use of additional heaters or fireplaces can affect overall temperature.
