3: Why is limited space for HVAC installations an issue for building projects?
If too little space is used, you have high operation and service costs; and using too much space reduces the floor area that can be rented out
3: Why is limited space for HVAC installations an issue for building projects?
If the required amount of space is planned for at the design stage, this will not be a problem – as long as it matches the size of the installation

3: Why is limited space for HVAC installations an issue for building projects?
This is an issue that can be resolved by renting out the installation floor area to the service provider

4: Do Grundfos Modular HVAC systems reduce the HVAC system footprint?
No, the benefits come from reducing complexity and time spent on selecting and sizing

4: Do Grundfos Modular HVAC systems reduce the HVAC system footprint?
Yes, benefits come from ensuring maximum profitability of rentable square meters as well as reducing complexity and time spent on selecting and sizing
5: Do building services perform as expected in a typical commercial building project?
No, only 2% of new buildings have a performance that matches the design estimate
5: Do building services perform as expected in a typical commercial building project?
Yes, only 2% of buildings do not perform as they were designed to

5: Do building services perform as expected in a typical commercial building project?
No, but this is expected – adjusting and optimising building services after completion is always calculated into costs
