The Radiant Outfitters training program is known throughout the industry as the best generic school available on radiant technology, said RPA Executive Director Larry Drake. The program has information on a wide range of topics from control strategies to tube and electric element installation, he said. The information is a result of years of compiling the experience and knowledge of the experts in the field of radiant heating, Drake said.
