This is the book to read for anyone serious about hydronic installation either as a refit or for a new building.Lots of engineering data and lots of pictures and referrals to products.
By Todd Hiebert
Format:Hardcover
I have very little experience with in-floor heat and needed a book that would help me plan an underfloor retrofit. This book gave specific details about the job that I had been planning. From boiler sizing to water line routing diagrams, the process was covered in good detail. This is the only book you'll need if for planning any type of hydronic heating system.
Format:Hardcover
Just pick up the book, read any chapter, and it becomes clearly evident the author has been there, done that. The book is very clearly written, well organized, and very useful. Covers most subjects in sufficient detail as to not require much in the way of other references. My only criticism is that I would have liked a little more detail in the PID control section - but one could supplant that info with other references.

An engineer's review
The book was very useful. The only drawback was the "Hydronics Design Kit" was not included. This costs an additional $76 from Oikos. Read more
