Radiant heating is tremendously efficient. By heating the floor and objects in the room, rather than trying to heat moving air, it allows you to make spaces feel comfortable at a lower temperature. (The science behind this deals with thermally conditioning interior surfaces with low-temperature longwave radiation, making everything feel warmer with less wasted energy.) This approach means that you can effectively warm outdoor areas efficiently.
