Radiant floor heat is not currently supported with an HVACTemplate object. The simplest approach would be to use HVACTemplate:Zone:BaseboardHeat with HVACTemplate:Thermostat, HVACTemplate:Plant:HotWaterLoop, and HVACTemplate:Plant:Boiler. See example file HVACTemplate-5ZoneBaseBoardHeat.idf
Run a simulation with that file, then rename the expidf output file to <newfilename>.idf and edit it to delete the baseboard heat and replace it with ZoneHVAC:LowTemperatureRadiant:ConstantFlow. (Search for ZoneHVAC:Baseboard:RadiantConvective:Water to find the places you need to change.) You will also need to add the low temp radiant objects, and the Construction:InternalSource (and change the construction name in the floor surface). See example file RadLoTempCFloTermReheat.idf
