ACCA’s Radiant and Hydronics Council (RHC) has announced that the
first-ever Hydronics Roundtable is taking place September 11 – 12, 2012,
at the Providence Marriott Downtown in Providence, RI. Early bird
registration is now open for the event, and attendees can save $100 by
registering by August 1.
The Hydronics Roundtable is the only event that is created by
contractors, for contractors and features many of the nation’s leading
radiant and hydronics professionals. Whether you are a seasoned radiant
veteran or new to the field, you won't find a more useful, friendly, and
engaging program anywhere else.
Kicking off the two day event will be Rich Trethewey, president of RST
Thermal, who is best known for his service as the mechanical systems
expert on the popular PBS show, This Old House, since 1979, and Ask This
Old House since 2000. During his keynote address, Threthewey will talk
about the future of radiant and hydronics contracting, the changes it
faces, and the opportunities that contractors can capitalize on to grow
their businesses.
There will also be 12 breakout sessions covering both advanced and
basic topics running concurrently throughout the two days. Sessions
include:
- The Tube Installation Boogie with Bob “Hot Rod” Rohr of Caleffi North America
- Distribution Efficiency: An Inherent Advantage with John Siegenthaler, P.E. of Appropriate Designs
- Estimating Fuel & Electrical Consumption with John Barba of Taco Inc.

of the best speakers in the industry, many of whom taught me radiant
and hydronics and always know what’s on the cutting edge,” said Dan
Foley, president of Foley Mechanical in Lorton, VA, and chairman of the
RHC Advisory Committee. “The entire committee is excited to be providing
