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.

Room size (compared to heater size)
