ISH
North America 2008, taking place Oct. 1-3 at the Georgia World
Congress Center, announced its efficient technologies and renewable
energy-focused seminar track, structured to educate professionals on the
growing use of green applications within their field.
Highlighted green-focused sessions include:
- “The Research Required for Successful
Implementation of New Water Efficient Technologies” by Peter Demarco, director
of special programs for IAPMO, who will discuss how plumbing systems can continue
to run as required during the course of upgrades.
- “Water Reuse and Water Reclamation” by Julius
Ballanco, who will describe attempts to move toward a “greener” plumbing design
and review how to comply with codes and protect public health with these new
systems. Ballanco is president of JB Engineering and Code Consulting,
P.C.
- “An Introduction to the GreenPlumbers Program”
will feature Steve Lehtonen, managing director of GreenPlumbers USA, an
organization that helps plumbers utilize green strategies in their work,
discussing how businesses can benefit from GreenPlumbers’ understanding of the
availability and cost of water and energy.
- “Why Hydronic Distribution Systems are a Deep
Shade of Green Technology” and “Ten Trends that will Shape the Future of
Hydronic Heating,” presented by John Siegenthaler, an associate professor of
engineering technology at Mohawk Community College, will address the use of
hydronic heating, showing why it is beneficial and how to use it. In addition to
teaching, Siegenthaler has more than 28 years’ experience designing modern
hydronic heating systems and has published extensively on the topic.
Participants will have a special opportunity on the last
morning of ISH NA to discuss a wide assortment of topics with Dave Yates and
Mark Eatherton, the only two recipients of the Carlson-Holohan Industry Award
of Excellence. This award, created in honor of Gil Carlson and Dan Holohan, is
presented every other year to an exemplary professional in the steam and hydronics
industry.
This seminar, “Two Real Sharp P’s in a Bright Green Pod,” is
provided by ISH North America at no cost to registered attendees and will cover
state-of-the-art green technologies from solar thermal, ground source heat
pump, solar PV and hydrogen fuel cell technology, to high-efficiency space and
water heating, waste heat recovery and mini-split inverter systems that have
very high SEER and HSPF ratings.
The seminar series will also offer marketing, operations,
product and strategy instruction by some of the top names in the industry.
