Optimal system design combines best practices on both sides of the flange. Designing, installing, and maintaining perfect loops ensures that we deliver superior comfort, energy efficiency, and reliability to our customers. This double-header session on August 23 in Milwaukee goes beyond isolated, individual component training and looks at the big picture: integrated design for plumbing and hydronic systems.
Led by expert Caleffi and Grundfos trainers, the morning session will cover domestic hot water recirculation systems, and the afternoon session will cover hydronic heating systems. You can register for one session or both, and a complimentary lunch will be served in between.
