Topic: 10 Common Errors with Hydronic Radiant Heating and Cooling Systems - and How to Avoid Them

Hydronic radiant heating and cooling systems have been proven as an effective strategy for reducing building energy usage while maintaining optimum thermal comfort. This topic will cover some of the most common pitfalls and challenges seen from design through construction and commissioning phases of residential and commercial projects so that today's practitioners can design and install more effective and efficient systems that meet the needs and expectations of clients. Learning objectives include:

• Understanding typical heating and cooling capacities that can be expected from a radiant system, as well as factors that impact capacities. 
• Understanding typical construction method
• Understanding common coordination issues that occur and how to avoid them.
