Recorded at the 2023 Modern Hydronics Summit at the Hard Rock Casino in Coquitlam, B.C., this opening keynote presentation was a tag team event by John Siegenthaler and Robert Bean (Siggy and The Bean), with the duo addressing the “Whys” and “Hows” for electrifying hydronics.
Bean opened with the Whys, focusing on how as a society we’re wasting a lot of energy in the buildings we produce today, and as we improve building performance the introduction of low temperature hydronic systems for heating and cooling will be a natural fit. And Siegenthaler demonstrated the astounding efficiencies of hydronics over air systems and then provided examples of hydronic systems that incorporate heat pumps.
