Our speaker is Max Rohr, Education/Engagement Manager, Caleffi North America. Hydronics offers an excellent way to address sensible heating and cooling loads in markets like Vancouver who are transitioning to a zero energy building future. This presentation will discuss the strengths and limitations of water-based heating and cooling systems. Considering the vast amount of buildings operating with hydronic systems today, a clearer transition path is required to adapt to the energy plants of the future. Hydronic buildings will play a key role in achieving net-zero emissions in Canada by 2050.
