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.

Following the official launch of the ASHRAE BC Building Sustainability and Resilience Guide in August (available here http://www.ashraebc.com/resources ) the ASHRAE BC chapter are excited to be putting on an official launch night and showcase event. The guide is targeted at a diverse crowd, potentially anyone interested in buildings and sustainability, and it is hoped that this event will also attract people from consultants to architects and building owners.
