Ed, I'm in Commercial and Industrial Air Conditioning. I used one of my panel vendors to build them. I designed the ATC System and the whole plant like I would a Commercial Project, not resembling Residential Systems. Primary/secondary piping, VSD Pumps, redundant primary pumps w/ pump alternator, 6-Stages of heating (2/boiler) tied together with a Boiler Sequence Controller, 12 zones of heat and 2 zones of snowmelting w/ 9 loops each zone, and Radiant-heated Garage floor (from the Glycol side)! You name it, it's probably there. It's a Radiant Heating Engine Room! ;) Hoist! 8)


Cool! :coolblue: Nice job.

Hoist, that's cool! I'm really interested in that stuff, I've stayed at a resort that had radiant floor heating, it's great! I was also looking into on-demand hot water, and geothermal heating and cooling. I'm going to try to incorporate a lot of this into my next house. Tired of this shoveling, but it's 70 here today!!!

Geothermal will save you some good money on your bill, winter and summer, depending how your system's designed and what temps it's designed for. Always use larger terminal equipment and the lowest temp you can get away with when heating. This saves the most operating cost, but is more expensive to install. You'll probably have to get a boiler(s) to melt snow in CO. Especially the kind of snow you guys get. Snowmelting systems are designed based on 3 things; anticipated snowfall in "/hr, outdoor design temp, and wind velocity. A good design will not allow any snow to accumulate at all. Cheaper systems will eventually melt the snow, but lets it accumulate. We're getting all freezing rain now. Even my system struggles with that! I might have to keep it on longer to get some spots where they didn't install enough tubing underground. You can't make changes once they pour the cement! ;) Hoist! 8)

Yeah Howie, I'm green with envy.

About as green as my lawn is right now since it's been in the mid 70's here for weeks.

Hey Howie - thats quite some heating setup you have there.

Looks like something from Cape Canaveral - well I guess you do have that Black Ice Rocket in the garage  ;D

Hey B B, how's it going? I could've grown grass all winter with this system too! All I had to do was leave the insulation off of the tubing that's run under my lawn, keep the system on all winter, and water normally. F the grass! I'm not paying to grow grass. Shoveling, that's another story. I'll pay not to do that anymore. We all know about your SCA weather. I don't have the stomach for sprouts and avocados though! ;) Hoist! 8)

Thanks Nige, I got it from you guys. It's based on European Technology! We Americans are pigs when it comes to Energy! We might finally be starting to get it. But nobody here wants to pay the first cost for a high-efficiency system. So it really hasn't caught on yet. Yes, all my bikes are in my nicely radiant-heated garage! And people say it's an engine room on a Submarine, not Cape Canaveral! ;) Hoist! 8)

Think I will have to get some more heating in my garage for my new CACO baby too. We had a new Combi-boiler system installed a while ago and it is just too darned efficient. The old boiler used to keep the garage warm as well as the house.

Looks like another radiator on the way.

Hey Randy - hope you've managed to get that new shirt out on the road. Mines been limited to exposure at Club meets and the like, but hey the warm weather is just around the corner and we have a weekend bash planned for the end of this month.
