“Mastering Hydronic System Design,” an online course taught by BNP Media Plumbing Group Hydronics Editor John Siegenthaler, is now underway to a sellout class of 50 students. The course runs over a period of 10 weeks and includes about 20 hours of video instruction. The course is scheduled to run again for another 10 weeks starting Feb. 14, 2014.

The current students, from the United States and Canada, represent a range of backgrounds from contractors to engineers to renewable energy specialists. Each week they commit from five to eight hours to view training videos prepared by Siegenthaler, as well as do follow-up reading and homework assignments. They are able to work with the Hydronics Design Studio software to expedite design calculations.
