Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci was both an artist and an inventor. As an Italian, he knew all about and appreciated early inventions such as naturally heated Roman baths called hypocausts.

High-efficiency boilers thrive on low return water temperatures. These low return temperatures allow the combustion gases to condense, extracting as much latent heat as possible. 

To enhance the safety of its students as they walk across the longest pedestrian bridge in the state during the winter, Utah Valley University (UVU) took advantage of the technology and the many benefits that a hydronic snowmelt system would deliver. 

Winter is around the corner, and for many areas of the country, snow and ice buildup are major factors to contend with on commercial buildings.
