No reason to capitalize latin terms.

Questions with long comment strings are a serious disincentive to answering the question. I'm going to move your edit into the question, but it would help if you could provide a citation for the plans you reference. | |

| Nov 21, 2018 at 17:11 | comment | added | KillingTime | I'm not sure I follow the logic of the question. A hypercaust is used to heat the floors and walls of a room, it's not used to heat the water. Bath gets cold in the autumn and winter so the stone floors and walls need a little help. | |
| Nov 21, 2018 at 17:07 | comment | added | T.E.D.♦ | ....which leads me to my own personal confusion here. As near as I can tell, a hypocaust is a heat delivery mechanism, not a heat source. Given those two kinds of things have different and complementary purposes, I'm curious what exactly are you needing clarification on? | |
| Nov 21, 2018 at 17:04 | comment | added | T.E.D.♦ | I've linked WP's definition of a hypocaust for reader (like myself) who are unfamiliar with the term. | |
