[esp-r] Simulating UFH vs radiators

Dear list,
I'd like to run some simulations comparing the effects of using  
radiators at lower temperatures with UFH, viz. trying to see how  
oversized rads at what temperatures have to be to deliver the same  
level of warmth as UFH. I have done some monitoring of heat pumps  
retro-fitted in houses with rads where the output temperatures from  
the hps are nowhere near as high as should be expected, yet the houses  
are adequately warm......

I am reasonable well up on IES VE, which I don't think can do this  
simulation, so can ESP-R (preferably without too much effort)???

TIA
