Radiant & Hydronics

A heating designer is asked to create a three zone radiant floor heating system using a 5-ton (60,000 Btu/h) geothermal heat pump as the primary heat source, and a mod/con boiler as the auxiliary heat source. 

An installer is asked to pipe up two larger commercial air handlers supplied by a dual boiler setup. 

Installing the magnetic filter will increase energy efficiency, significantly prolong boiler life, protect pipework and considerably reduce maintenance calls, the company notes.

These lead-free products are made of dezincification resistant brass, the company notes.

Attendees can earn credits and certifications.

When a crew in Maine needed to renovate the heating system in an elementary school, they were up against two challenges — time and cleanliness.

In order to achieve a more environmentally friendly footprint for its new education and research campus in Narre Warren, Australia, IAPMO and the Plumbing Industry Climate Action Centre (PICAC) chose one technology rooted quite literally in the earth.

While the history of radiant heating stretches all the way back to the Roman hypocausts more than 2,000 years ago, the technology is still growing in popularity today.

In August, IAPMO and the Hydronics Industry Alliance – Commercial (HIA-C) presented the inaugural Les Nelson Achievement Award to the late leader of IAPMO’s Advanced Energy Systems’ widow and two children during a ceremony broadcast online from World Headquarters West in Ontario, California.

A little over eight years ago, The IAPMO Group purchased the assets of the Radiant Panel Association.
