A floor system that combines a radiant in-floor heating system with a structural floor system using heated air as an energy source and sealed floor panels as radiant bodies. Hot air circulates internally throughout the floor system heating metal joists, a radiant metal sheet, the structural sub-floor, the interior floor surface and the room above. Hot air is directed from a furnace into the floor system before returning to the furnace for reheating. A defined one-way airflow pathway is created by air circulation openings at alternatin g ends of successive parallel metal joists, the structural sub-floor on the top, an enclosure board on the bottom and wood rim boards on the sides. This invention relates to the technical field of radiant and structural floor systems for use in residential, commercial and other buildings.
