Summary
The first documented hydronic cooling systems were connected to the Roman aqueducts, in which water was routed through brick walls of homes of the affluent. Hydronic heating became prevalent in buildings as the source of hot water expanded. The first
commercial hot water boilers became available in the 1700s. Gravity hot water or steam heating systems were the norm in buildings until the mid-1900s.
