John Siegenthaler and BNP Media Launch Online Course for Hydronic Heating Professionals: ‘Mastering Hydronic System Design’

John Siegenthaler, P.E. wrote the book, “Modern Hydronic Heating” on hydronic system design – literally.   Now, he’s teaching a ten-week, advanced design course online.  It’s a detail-oriented design course that combines video lessons, reading assignments, and hands-on calculations and homework.  Siegenthaler says: “I’ve dedicated my career to teaching hydronic system design. This new format gives me a chance to get into more details than are possible with a single webinar. This course will be focused on state-of-the-art approaches for those who want to be on the cutting edge of hydronics technology.”

“Mastering Hydronic System Design”, offered in partnership with BNP Media, parent company of Plumbing & Mechanical magazine, The ACHR NEWS, PM Engineer, Supply House Times and Radiant & Hydronic e-News.  BNP’s CE Campus is an ongoing source of professional continuing education. BNP Plumbing Group Publisher Bob Miodonski says: “For 87 years BNP has been publishing great content. We see online training as an extension of that mission. A class of this depth just wasn’t possible five years ago.  I’m excited to be a part of something this personal and detailed.”

About the Course: “Mastering Hydronic System Design”
