Ever been to Ocean City, Maryland? It’s a summertime wonderland, and I was lucky enough years ago to get hired to do a seminar on hydronic radiant heating for a group of contractors who were having a conference there.

Before I retired in 2016, I’d get a lot of calls from lawyers who wanted to hire me to be an expert witness at a trial. They were almost always representing a building owner. I always said “no thank you,” because I like to keep stress out of my life.

Submissions were collected over the summer and then reviewed by a panel of third-party judges made up of distinguished ASHRAE members. Entrants are evaluated based on overall innovative design, creativity of the product or service offered, application, as well as potential market impact.

Today’s zone controls have come a long way from the days when controls were literally “relays on a board.” 

Our daughter Erin, concerned about the heavy rains Maryland had been having, wanted to have some window wells on her basement checked out. 

Do you ever feel there are just too many pipes, circulators, controls and other gadgets in the hydronic systems you install?
