Steve, I think the gist of this is intended use vs actual use. One layer of floor mats is not that big a deal. A 7 ft stack of mats in a room during the summer is. I have seen a lot of stuff in school athletic facilities moved around and and stored to the point where LH is not really acceptable.
Typically these rooms are not huge, so how much of a difference in piping is there between LH and OH?
