[.ca] Modern Hydronic Heating for Residential and Light (ISBN 0766816370)

good stuff:
this is an excellent book. i have an engineering background, and this book has the level of detail and scientific rigor i find useful. i am using it to design my own system.

Great textbook with engineering approach to Hydronic Design:
This textbook is the kind you might want to use for a college course on Hydronic Heating Design. It mentions a software program (not included) that must have been used in conjuction with the creatation of this text. Great explainations and examples along with exercises at the end of each chapter. Well worth the price.

Best Resource Available:
This book is THE resource for any homeowner planning to install radiant floor heat. It is written as a textbook for HVAC students, but it serves equally well as a reference and informative design resource for the average homeowner. John Siegenthaler is recognized by his peers as one of the outstanding radiant heating engineers. I highly recommend this book.

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.com and is referred to many times in the book. Therefore, it is almost a requirement during use of the book.

An absoluteley excellent book:
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.
