Book excerpt: I wrote this book for people who prefer plain-English explanations of how things work. You won't find much math in this book. No formulas. No mumbo-jumbo. What you will find are simple words of ordinary conversation, and a lot of very easy-to-follow drawings relating to hydronic radiant heating. There are also stories - lots of them I like to tell stories about the things I've seen as I've traveled around the US, Canada and Europe, looking at hydronic radiant installations. I've seen installers do things the right way and the wrong way, and I learned from them all. I dug into old books as well as the current literature to write this one, and I did my very best to boil down the engineering into understandable terms. This book contains 215 pages of practical, common sense information that you can use right away. I've made lots of analogies to things you already know. Hydronic radiant heating doesn't have to be complicated or spooky. There are rules of thumb that work, and installers are using them with great success every day. There are simple ways to install and control these systems. I'll show you how. All in all, you're going to find straight answers to direct questions in this book. I've done my best to present a subject that I love in a way that I think you will find both informative and very enjoyable.

Book excerpt: This was my first book and a true labor of love. I spent decades studying steam and the work of Dead Men, in both old buildings and on library shelves. I traveled the country, haunting used-book stores, looking for engineering books that held the answers to questions that nagged at me. I was obsessed with this topic, and when I finally sat to write, I poured all that I had learned into this book, and as I wrote, I tried my best to make the words sound good to you - like we were together and having a conversation. I wanted you to know what I know and I wanted you to be able to do what I can do when it comes to old steam systems. This book arrived in 1992 and has since gone though dozens of printings. We've sold it in every state as well as in foreign countries. Steam heat is everywhere there are old buildings, so why shouldn't you be the one with the answers? Dan Holohan

Book excerpt: I was fortunate to have had the late, great Gil Carlson as one of my teachers. He invented primary-secondary pumping in the early '50s and went on to do many other things. Over the years, I've watched a lot of trial and error with primary-secondary heating systems. That's a shame because guesswork costs both time and money. In this book, I've used what Gil taught me to show you how to reduce the size of your pipes, valves, fittings and pumps, and how to lower heating system temperature, and all without sacrificing performance or getting into trouble. This book covers two-pipe primary-secondary heating systems, as well as one-pipe heating systems. It shows how to get the most out of two-, three-, and four-way valves, as well as injection pumping. I also give you lots of options for your boiler-room piping (for both single- and multiple-boiler systems). It's loaded with diagrams and I went easy on the math because you may not be an engineer (and neither am I). This book will save you time and money and keep you out of trouble. It is not a primer, but it is easy to understand. - Dan Holohan

This book was released on 2010-06-10 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's economy and lifestyles have been shaped by the low prices and availability of energy. In the last decade, however, the prices of oil, natural gas, and coal have increased dramatically, leaving consumers and the industrial and service sectors looking for ways to reduce energy use. To achieve greater energy efficiency, we need technology, more informed consumers and producers, and investments in more energy-efficient industrial processes, businesses, residences, and transportation. As part of the America's Energy Future project, Real Prospects for Energy Efficiency in the United States examines the potential for reducing energy demand through improving efficiency by using existing technologies, technologies developed but not yet utilized widely, and prospective technologies. The book evaluates technologies based on their estimated times to initial commercial deployment, and provides an analysis of costs, barriers, and research needs. This quantitative characterization of technologies will guide policy makers toward planning the future of energy use in America. This book will also have much to offer to industry leaders, investors, environmentalists, and others looking for a practical diagnosis of energy efficiency possibilities.
