Modern Hydronic Heating, 3rd Edition - John Siegenthaler, P.E.

Siggy Modern Hydronic Heating  

Never thought it was possible to make it any better but industry colleague John “Siggy” Siegenthaler, P.E., steps up his latest edition with current information, photo’s and new mechanical, electrical and architectural illustrations not found in other design text books. Updated are numerous resources including list of key words, sample questions and exercises with suggested reading material for further studies. Also new is a wide range of simple and useful formulas that should be part of every person’s tool kit. If you’ve been looking for an all-in-one resource addressing the power of integrated modern hydronics including practical real world applications for geo and solar thermal systems – it’s time to donate away those dozen antiquated books for this single source one of a kind instruction manual that will serve educators, students, designers and trade persons well into the future of high performance hydronic systems.

…and the best part is if you order it before February month end from Siggy himself you’ll get the introductory hot off the press price – a $49 savings!

Our Purpose

  • Established in 2004, The Journal of Indoor Environmental Quality (JIEQ) in conjunction with Healthy Heating serves as a technical interpreter and consolidator of academic research demonstrating the building and health sciences are inclusive elements. It provides professional development programs based on its analysis to application professionals such as architects, engineers, interior designers and related technicians.

Quotes

  • “The quality of housing conditions plays a decisive role in the health status of the residents, because many health problems are either directly or indirectly related to the building itself, the construction materials that were used, and the equipment or the size or structure of the individual dwellings.” The World Health Organization
  • "Indoor environmental quality is in part a result of materials and methods of construction which has an influence on occupant health. For this reason, policies around health and construction cannot be treated separately and must be linked together." Source: Bean, R., IAQ Webinar Presentation, 2009
  • The HVAC system consumes 50-60% of the building energy cost and generates 80-85% of tenant complaints. Source: U.S. General Services Administration, Public Buildings Service, Office of the Chief Architect

Good Design

  • “Industrial designers determine the form and interaction qualities of manufactured products...They study people at work, at home and in motion to create satisfying experiences with products from the kitchen and the office to the hospital and the warehouse…” Excerpt from the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA).
  • In our opinion, industrial design has been overlooked by the HVAC industry – illustrated by consumers facing difficulties selling homes with HVAC systems which have “beast in the boiler room.”
  • Be reminded by S. Claire Conroy from Residential Architecture, "It's time architects of every discipline understand residential architecture for what it really is: everyone's most intimate connection with architecture. It's not simply a “test bed”—it's a vessel for our lives on their most personal level. That makes the stakes very high indeed. No one is more discriminating and demanding than a residential client.”
  • "A lot of it has to do with how we are responding at a physiological level to what we see as we walk in through the door." Sarah Susanka, Architect
  • “Industrial designers determine the form and interaction qualities of manufactured products...They study people at work, at home and in motion to create satisfying experiences with products from the kitchen and the office to the hospital and the warehouse…” Excerpt from the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA).
  • "In any industry, one of the most important and difficult tasks is to explain a nuanced process to someone unfamiliar with the field. At its grass roots, design is a process like many others; it has theories, strategies and examples that can be explained on a general level. It’s not a matter of what type of information is given, but rather how it is presented and to what type of audience." Speaking Design to Non-Designers, IDSA
