Can a hydronic system effectively – and efficiently – provide heating, cooling, domestic hot water AND heat recovery ventilation in a residential home? John Siegenthaler, P.E., a favorite to the webinar series, will discuss design details, challenges and lessons learned from a from a recent project profile of a modern hybrid approach utilizing an air-to-water heat pump system that checks all of the boxes during this 90-minute extended edition.
You’ll learn:
→ Back-up heating. When is it necessary?
→ Can a single 44 watt circulator supply all space heating flow for a 2,300 square foot house?
→ Does chilled water cooling and heat recovery ventilation require separate duct systems?
→ Can panel radiators operate at supply water temperature below 100 ºF on design days?
→ Where does an “extended manifold” piping system make sense?
→ How are 3-way diverter valves applied in air-to-water heat pump systems?
→ What are the advantages of multi-zone heating combined with single-zone cooling?
Siegenthaler is a seasoned industry leader and passionate teacher, eager to share his over 40 years’ experience in the understanding and proper application of water-based engineering principles with our audience. He is the principal of Appropriate Designs and a regular contributor to industry publications.

Air-to-Slab Heat Pump Systems
Thursday, Nov. 17
12:00 – 1:00 p.m. CST
Technical Content Level: Intermediate
Air to water heat pump technology is steadily gaining traction. When a heat pump’s coefficient of performance is maximized, energy efficiency and resiliency benefits are substantial. How can engineers, designers and installers effectively apply this emerging technology to high thermal mass floor heating applications? Which commercial systems are good candidates for this type of design?
Hydronics expert John Siegenthaler, P.E. will detail the approaches that can best utilize this technology.
You’ll learn:
→ Do all air to water heat pump systems need buffer tanks?
→ How does the thermal mass of a floor slab compare to that of a buffer tank? → What is a simple way to control a heat pump supplying a heated floor slab? → What are the benefits of using constant circulation in “garage-type” floor heating systems?
