The Air Conditioning Contractors of America has launched a new
Radiant & Hydronics Council (RHC) within ACCA to provide specific services
to this segment of the HVACR industry.
“Radiant contractors
have been seeking a dynamic, contractor-focused organization for some time, and
many have asked ACCA to expand an emphasis into that sector,” said Joe Nichter,
ACCA 2011-2012 chairman. “The RHC will provide first-class representation and
services for radiant and hydronics professionals that wish to be the best in
their field.”
The first chairman of the RHC advisory council
will be Dan Foley. Foley is president of Foley Mechanical in Lorton, Va.,
and a past chairman of the Radiant Panel Association.
“As a
longtime active member of associations in both the air and radiant field, I am
excited to see ACCA create this new organization,” said Foley. “It is
definitely time for the many different elements of the indoor environment
industry to come together under one umbrella for the betterment of all
contractors. ACCA offers us an incredible opportunity to do just that. Since it
is an organization of, by, and for the contractor, it gives us one strong voice
in advocacy, while providing services specific to radiant professionals through
the council.”
