The System Showcase began 10 years ago at RPA's first conference and has flourished ever since. The quality and scope of the projects submitted continue to impress the judges with each passing year as the consumer demand for radiant applications continues to grow.

Judging is now done by a panel of volunteers selected for thier knowledge and experience in radiant heating. Some are past Showcase winners themselves. Each project is scored in three areas:

Presentation - completeness of application, project description, illustrations, appearance, and adherence to instructions

Technical Merit - proper application of equipment and workmanship

Impression - appropriate design and appearance of installation.

Projects are scored on a point system. No one knows who the finalists are until the scores are tallied. The top three scores from each category are presented here as finalists. The RPA Annual System Showcase Awards Dinner was held October 11 at the Dulles Expo Center, Chantilly, VA during Rad Fest East, October 11-12, 2005.
