Uponor &#8211; Wirsbo, for those of us who remember the company that started in the clay pipe business in the 1600s and is still going, albeit, under a new name &#8211; has done a great job with their radiant heating design software &#8211; it is so easy to use and ascribes to the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) principal. Hooray for common sense! Congrats to Uponor!</p><p>If you install radiant floor or snow melt systems, then you have to give Uponor&#8217;s Advanced Design Suite software a try. Of course, I&#8217;m a Wirsbo PEX kinda guy, so Uponor&#8217;s product is the one I use when PEX is in order for a job.</p><p>Frankly, I find PEX offensive to creativity, as it replaces the skill of fellow tradesmen that I&#8217;ve worked with over the past 30 years, and that of my own. We&#8217;ve used copper and have often created what seems like gold forced hot water systems. But I use PEX for rough-in work where copper will never be seen anyway. As far as I am concerned, PEX is all about function and very little about form, which is why I have inventions that deal with this problem&#8230;more on that later.</p><p>Uponor&#8217;s Advanced Design Suite is all about function <em>and</em> form, which greatly appeals to me &#8211; a constant computer/software user for HVAC business.</p><p>No, I am not paid by Uponor to say these seemingly promotional things &#8211; they are not Uponor-instigated promotion; they are my way of commending a company and that company&#8217;s backbone &#8211; its people &#8211; for figuring things out before they cram it down tradesmen and consumer&#8217;s throats&#8230;more on that later. Advanced Design Suite software is in now way crap &#8211; it&#8217;s awesome! I highly recommend it.</p><p>Uponor (business entity and its backbone), you did good!</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.thehvacguru.com/praise-uponor-wirsbo-advanced-design-suite/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>theHVACguru.com set to replace ProtechHVAC.com</title><link>http://www.thehvacguru.com/protechhvac-com-will-yield-to-the-official-url-thehvacguru-com/</link> <comments>http://www.thehvacguru.com/protechhvac-com-will-yield-to-the-official-url-thehvacguru-com/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 04 Apr 2011 17:27:53 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>JohnRocheleau</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <guid
