Caleffi is kicking off its year-long Caleffi Excellence program to encourage designers and installers of hydronic or plumbing systems to showcase their work featuring its products.

Taco’s FloPro University has a new factory training program: “Residential Hydronics: Advanced Soup to Variable Speed Nuts.” In this class, John Barba will show how to design and install an efficient, modern residential hydronic system.

Jeff Bredeson will serve as interim president and CEO.

Webstone introduces its new 25-minute animated video highlighting the functions, features and benefits of its signature hydronic products.

Bradford White introduces a new residential gas water heater with a .70 Energy Factor, which meets the DOE’s energy conservation standards set to go into effect April 16, 2015.

 I’d like to begin with a big shout-out to that noted philosopher, Mr. Michael Tyson, who once said, “Everyone has a plan, ’til they get punched in the mouth.”

A complaint building maintenance departments frequently hear is that the occupants are either too hot or too cold. In some instances, both complaints may come from the same room. 

 North American hydronic professionals can now choose from dozens of modulating/condensing (mod/con) boilers. Many are designed for wall-mounting. Those who design these boilers strive for small enclosures and low weight.  

The world we live in would not be the same if air conditioning weren’t available. Entire regions of the world would have remained undeveloped, sustaining minimal populations, if air conditioning hadn’t become a part of our lives.

The Energy Star program was restricted to residential water heaters but has expanded its scope this year to include larger units.
