Magnetic South is not the same thing as solar South, the further North you go the further apart, in southern Canada it is easily 15 degrees off.

I used hepex tubing in my slab, since water hold heat 3x better than air....

Is there anything special you have to do with a raft slab like this to manage frost heaving because you're not putting your footers below the frost line?

can you build a full standing height basement into the design?

Why the water lines in the floor instead of the walls already insulated ?

Polar south and solar south are not the same. Always consider that.
