John Siegenthaler, P.E., principal of Appropriate Designs in Holland Patent, New York, and longtime Plumbing & Mechanical and PM Engineer columnist, received a surprise recognition from Mark Olson, CEO of Caleffi North America, during the Carlson-Holohan ceremony. Siegenthaler was presented with the Legacy of Excellence Award for his writing contribution to idronics, a technical journal of design innovation now in its 32nd edition.
idronics has been a respected resource since 2007 for engineers, architects, wholesalers, contractors, educators and manufacturers in North America. idronics derives its roots from Idraulica, the Italian-inspired publication created by Caleffi founder Francesco Caleffi in 1991.
