Heating with Renewable Energy

Demonstrates that modern hydronics technology is the "glue" that holds together nearly all thermally based renewable energy systems.

Focuses on details rather than just concepts to provide readers with the nuts & bolts information required for real solutions.

Includes extensive full color illustrations that provide detailed piping and control schematics, as well as reference information that designers will use on every system.

Uses standard English measurement units exclusively, guaranteeing consistency with today's US industry practices.

Provides mathematical design tools, along with complete examples of how they are used, to help designers learn to analyze variations in system design and make informed decisions long before any hardware gets assembled.

Shows the common design elements of systems with different renewable energy heat sources to help designers learn how to migrate details and subsystems among systems using different renewable energy heat sources.

Starts with "building blocks" and finishes with complete system designs to ensure that designers aren't left wondering how common hardware operates or how to select it.

Covers a wide range of renewable energy heat sources for space heating and domestic hot water, allowing readers to diversify their expertise.

Includes a downloadable academic version of author-developed software that assists with the design calculations and procedures presented in the book.
