About this Course


Course Details

The Hydronic System Design Course trains those working with hot water heating to properly design a residential hot water heating system to meet the guidelines established by the Residential Hot Water Heating Association of BC. Quality First Registered Hydronic Designers receive a numbered certificate and stamp for submitting system drawings from the Guidelines to inspection authorities. These Guidelines are used in conjunction with the TECA Hydronic Systems Design Manual and Hydronic Piping Handbook when designing systems. The drawings in these guidelines are approved boiler room and system layouts and are used by many BC authorities having jurisdiction for inspections of hydronic installations.

48 hour course

Manual covers the entire design process, including:

  • Review of Heat Loss Calculations based on F280 design course
  • Radiant Floor and Snow Melt Panel Design Layout
  • Pump Sizing and ECM Pump Applications
  • Expansion Tank Sizing
  • Piping Systems and Near Boiler Piping applications
  • Basic Electrical Wiring Diagrams and Schematics
  • Equipment Selection Information
  • Commissioning Checklist Information
  • Appendix and Glossary

Course Materials


Included in Course Fee

Hydronic System Design course manual

Design safe, efficient and effective hydronic heating systems. The manual includes step-by-step heat loss, estimate, and design worksheets, examples of worksheet use, all necessary charts, tables and formulas in Imperial measurements, explanatory text, diagrams, pictures, and more.


Hydronics Piping Handbook

$245.00 value

TECA's Hydronic Piping Handbook drawings comprise a technical reference for regulatory authorities, designers, installers and other individuals directly or indirectly involved with hot water heating projects. These drawings will aid in the understanding of how the boiler, piping system, heating equipment and associated components are arranged and used with residential, hot water heating systems.


Hydronic & Combo Guidelines

$127.00 value

This publication provides guidelines that will help individuals in the design and installation of hot water heating systems and combination hot water & space heating systems. These Guidelines are used in conjunction with the TECA Hydronics Systems Design Manual when designing systems. The drawings in these guidelines are approved boiler room and system layouts and are used by many BC authorities having jurisdiction for inspections of hydronic installations.
