Aquatherm Heads to BOMA

This month, Aquatherm will be attending The Every Building Show hosted by BOMA. The trade show and convention are being held at the Long Beach Convention Center in Los Angeles. The show will run from June 27th-June 29th and hosts a broad range of real estate professionals.

The Every Building Show is designed to help provide building owners, developers, and managers with access to the most current and cost-effective solutions for their properties. This year’s show will feature a Green Pavillion and Energy Star Showcase to help highlight the more environmentally responsible products that are on display.

Aquatherm Advanced & “Equivalent Thickness"

Modern energy codes are based around the use of metal pipe, which has a high rate of energy transfer, meaning that a great deal of energy can travel into or out of the pipe. Insulation levels are dictated accordingly, using fiberglass insulation as the standard. As of 2007, ASHRAE 90.1 requires one inch of insulation for heating applications water (140 -200 degrees F) or less on all sizes under 4 inches. At 4 inches and above, 1.5 inches of insulation is required. Domestic hot and cold water requires one inch or less. Chilled water under 40 degrees requires an inch or less on all sizes except those 8 inches and beyond where 1.5 inches of insulation is required.

Aquatherm Training Expanded Even Further

With nearly 2000 installers trained in the last 2 years, Aquatherm’s training program has been instrumental in educating contractors and plumbers across the United States and Canada in heat fusion techniques. Demand for additional trainers and training has grown exponentially as Aquatherm products find their way into more and more building projects.
