A interactive day-long workshop exploring optimizing of heating systems in a “whole systems”,building science-based approach in the context of examples in existing and new buildings. Discussion will include conversion of steam systems to hydronic operation, condensing gas-fired boilers, air & ground-source heat pumps, pellet-fired boilers, solar space heating, radiant floors, and panel radiators, heat recovery and much more. Instructor has specializing in energy engineering for 30 years, is a state-wide energy adviser for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and is an active member and past board member of the Northeast Sustainable Energy.Association.
Overview of Systems to be Covered:
Condensing boilers
Air-source heat pumps
