Yeah I was referring more to what would actually work as opposed to what is or is not cost effective.
Modeling is great, I do a lot of it (but mainly in E+ since I'm a glutton for punishment), but it is very time consuming (at least to me) and I do my best to not further put myself in the hole...
I would think a water loop and coil would be the only rigorous maintainable design that would actually work. Even plate to plate is going to have internal issues with dust and soot. Just make sure it is designed such that there is a drain and you can easily get a pressure washer on it.

Yes, we have a control system and I am the one writing the control code to operate the building systems. Currently the HHW_G pumps are set to maintain a deltaP of 10 over the supply/return but this just means the pumps (which are on a VFD) operate at 50% consistently.
The system is a modified...
Hey everybody,

I highly recommend the ASHRAE books. The University of Wisconsin has great continuing education programs and where I work sent me to the Fundamentals of HVAC course. It is a little pricey, but realistically they are losing money training you as it is and your salary is likely high enough to...
Evernote is probably the most useful app I have ever used. Somebody actually just recommended Trello to me ~15 min ago. It appears to be good for projects and I'm going to investigate its use later today.
Evernote is the best though and it syncs between my office/home/mobile/tablet.
I tend to never be surprised by people's "technical and mechanical abilities" but I tend to be unpleasantly surprised by what people think they can do.
The first job I took out of college backfired in my face like holding a shotgun with one hand, got a terrible reference, but I just kept at it...
