The built environment is not made up of the latest and greatest equipment that we see at tradeshows and greenfield construction sites. We're still using the old technologies, so can't we find some way to make them better?
Steam is an integral part of the HVAC landscape, encompassing numerous industries from health care to manufacturing to education and beyond. Between maintenance, monitoring, pressure concerns, leaks, scale buildup, and more, these mission critical systems can become somewhat cumbersome for facility managers to manage.
The Hydronics Product Group will be composed of manufacturers of hydronics equipment and components that contribute to low-pressure steam and hot water heating as stated in Section IV of the ASME code.
When I started out at an HVAC consulting engineering firm back in the 1960s, our services were primarily focused on hospital design engineering. Back then, steam system engineering was standard for those building applications.
