Last November, I was invited by Viega to attend its radiant seminar in San Francisco and to tour the offices of the Center for the Built Environment. Viega and CBE announced their partnership in February 2015 to offer education on commercial integrated hydronic systems.
CBE, housed on the campus of the University of California Berkeley, researches holistic building methods, such as radiant heating and cooling. Fred Bauman, P.E., is the lead researcher on a project on advanced integrated systems with a focus on radiant cooling, also known as thermally activated building systems.
