      a) hydronic space heating;


      b) radiant heating (wall, floor, and ceiling);


      c) convectors;


      d) fan coils;


      e) combination potable-water-heating and space-heating (combo) systems;


      f) integrated mechanical systems;


      g) indirect-fired domestic-water heating;
