Yeah, In my not very humble opinion, the radiant industry, including the "expert darlings" are not up to date.
The last edition of the book that is considered the 'radiant bible' gave barely a mention to the state of the art. That's when I began to understand that its information is paced to match the manufactured systems... and it is actually a sales tool.
I think that there is more state of the art info here on EcoRenotator. Trouble is that it is also mixed in with trade lore from the fossil fuel era.
It would be good to do a "Best Practices" thread, but the best practices would have to be stated early, before the dilution begins.
