QUESTION:
I am building a garage with mother in law apartment above it. It will be 24 X 28 and the max height grade to peak is 20'. What is the most economical way to heat this space? I will be starting from scratch on this one so I can do anything. I was thinking of a radiant heat in the floor but how comfortable will it be upstairs.

ANSWER:
You have a lot of questions that need to be answered but definitely you can't heat the slab and expect it to be comfortable upstairs (unless you want roasted BMW) so you will have to put a second zone on the second floor but you are only talking 700 sq f.
In these situations I always suggest a PTAC (hotel style) unit this will give you heating and cooling at a reasonable cost you won't lose any available space to ductwork.
