The Radiant Professionals Alliance is now accepting
entries for its System Design Showcase 2012 competition, where designers and
contractors demonstrate their creativity and finesse in design and competence
in installation before their peers in the radiant and hydronic industry.
The deadline to submit a completed
application - including typewritten description, photos and schematics/drawings
for consideration in any of six categories - is July 15. Applications may be
downloaded from the RPA website
here.
The competition categories are: New or Retrofit Residential; New or Retrofit
Commercial; Snow/Ice Melting; Electric; Innovation; and Cooling.
Industry peers will perform
private, structured judging via a secure “members-only” section of the
RPA
website. A panel of industry experts will screen all projects and
those chosen as the best will be voted on by RPA members to determine which are
worthy of awards for their achievement.
Winners will be announced at the RPA
Annual System Design Showcase Reception to be held in Chicago Sept. 18, during
the RPA’s Annual Membership Meeting and Conference (held in conjunction with
Mechanical Systems Week). Winning projects will be presented in RADIANT LIVING magazine.
Past winners have presented
professionally installed systems accompanied by drawings, sizing information, and
before, during and after photos. Given the growing popularity of green
technology, a short explanation of why a system was chosen by the customer
versus more traditional methods is recommended. Additionally, a study
demonstrating the efficiency of the system is similarly encouraged.
“We look forward to seeing the
innovative and exceptional radiant projects our members have installed and
sharing the absolute best of the bunch with the industry,” said RPA Director of
Technical Services
Michael Geagan.
