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 custom-designed, prefabricated, pre-pressurized network of Uponor crosslinked polyethylene (PEX-a) tubing, the Uponor Radiant Rollout Mat is the ideal solution for faster, more consistent installations for large commercial radiant heating and cooling applications — saving up to 85% in installation time, the company notes.
The BLF-2 balancing valve allows for precise flow control to ensure efficient energy distribution to match the load of each zone in a hydronic heating or cooling system.
On projects that require hydronic distribution for heating/cooling, snow melting, geothermal, biomass and district energy management, REHAU INSULPEX pre-insulated pipe delivers convenience
and energy-efficiency far beyond metal piping, the company says.
