i think it would save a lot of energy if the rads were put away from the windows. my gut instinct says that hot spots would not be an issue (for me) -i could live with that for cheaper bills. draughts only occur if you have leaky windows. if builder took this to extreams they would be heating their houses with (outside) patio heaters!!!

from a chemical engineering point of view a room is like a mixed flow reactor. if you put the input and output too close together you get feed short circuiting the reactor.
