The cool walls and cool floors trough radiant cooling sounds good, but does it create condensation in humid climates?

Is it working?

You have a point: aluminum – very energy intensive. So regular hydronic tubes would be the more energy efficient way to go. No aluminum – no warmboard; just embed the rubber tubes directly in the mortar.

I recently finished remodeling my home and used a radiant panel called The Complete Radiant Panel. Similar to Warmboard, although not a subfloor, the aluminum was made from recycled material. We did a lot of the work ourselves, and for a remodel, it was great since we could just lay it over the existing subfloor.

Using hydronic heating in walls sounds like an interesting idea but I can't think of a place that I would use it in a standard house.

Warmboard sounds like an interesting product but the aluminum coating really does not fit as a green product given the huge amount of energy required to produce aluminum.
