the wood floor will use less
energy to heat than than a concrete  one of the same
size, if I understand Laren's post. So the wood  floors
would be better insulated and more energy efficient,
kind of like  SB walls are; better insulated than 2x4
walls with fiberglass  bats.

Cheers,

Shody:  Maybe I missed something along  the line.  Please let me know if I 
did.  But....doesn't wood insulate  the room somewhat against the heat/cold of 
the floor?  Wouldn't it also  insulate it against the radiant floor heat from 
coming thru?
