hydronic heating - book recommendation [RE-wrenches]

[Dean T. Newberry]

<x-flowed>
Hi Kurt,
I would start with "Radiant Basics" by Sigenthaler, available from the 
RPA(RPA)
http://www.radiantpanelassociation.org. 
I have taken several classes from Sigenthaler and Dan Holohan, both are 
excellent.
Dan Holohan's books address specific issues like pumping.
A necessary component of radiant design is radiant insulation get the 
RIMA handbook from http://www.rima.net/
I wish the Plumbing Heating & Cooling Contractors Assn. (PHCC) had 
better information for the Hydronics, they are more focused on business 
practices.
this article on mold is a must read. 
http://www.naphcc.org/publications/MoldInformation.pdf.

I hope this helps.
