Appropriate Designs is a team of engineering professionals dedicated to advancing the science and proper application of modern hydronic(water-based) heating. We are specialists in the application of engineering principles, computer aided design, technical writing, and teaching. We integrate these capabilities as necessary to continually develop new support materials for the hydronics industry.
If you have a project that requires technical support in the field of hydronic heating, please contact us to discuss how we might assist you. Appropriate Designs was formed in 1983 by John Siegenthaler to provide engineering design services specifically focused on low-energy-use buildings. Specialties include solar energy applications, super-insulated construction, and hydronic heating.

There is no simple answer to this question. It's like asking, "How much does it cost to build a house", or "How much does it cost to buy a car?" Every building is unique in its opportunities and limitations for the installation of a hydronic heating system. A wide range of hydronic heat emitters, heat sources, and control options are available.
Hydronic heating systems use water to move heat from where it is produced to where it is needed. The water within the system is neither the source of the heat nor its destination; only its "conveyor belt." Heat is absorbed by the water at a heat source, conveyed by the water through the distribution piping, and finally released into a heated space by a heat emitter.
