The Wall
at HeatingHelp.com and many of the publications sold through that website. The creator, moderator and author of many of the best books you will ever find is a fellow by the name of Dan Holohan.

When I sold Wirsbo/uphonor products, they had a pretty good design/selection software and there are some good loop design softwares available as well. I used a product called LoopCAD, that I liked. Most of the pump manufacturers like Taco, B&G and Grundfos have selection and design software, too.
Manufacturers catalogs and installation manuals will also have a lot of good details and data. If this is going to be a business that you are or plan to be involved with, contact all of the manufacturers and reps you can locate and have them send you information.
A subscription to a trade magazine like Engineered Systems http://www.esmagazine.com/ would be a good investment as well. They are usually free and offer lots of vendors to sort through.
When you get to the stage of designing and laying out systems, creating bills of material and such, the Honeywell Environmental and Combustion Cotrols 2010-2011 Product Catalog is also a must have, IMPO.
thx
Thank you,
The wall is a good resource. Lots of reading there.
