Throughout 100 years of changes and challenges, one thing has remained constant at the Hydronics Institute (HI): The organization’s commitment to serving the professional tradesmen and tradeswomen who make the hydronics industry great.
The HI celebrates its 100-year anniversary this year, tracing its roots back to the National Boiler and Radiator Manufacturers, which formed in 1915 with about 15 members. The association’s goal was to help ensure proper sizing, efficiency, and safety of hydronics equipment, which, back then, focused specifically on large residential boilers. Combustion products in the home were a new venture at that time, and safety was paramount to the association’s mission.
