1: Can Grundfos products be monitored and controlled via a BMS system?
Yes, Grundfos pumps can be monitored and controlled via a BMS system as well as offering load adaptive performance
2: 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
2: 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 installing a Grundfos MIXIT mixing loop solution a good idea?
It can be for some buildings – if price but not efficiency is important
You can find the answer here >
3: Why is installing a Grundfos MIXIT mixing loop solution a good idea?
You get the security of one supplier – but you still need to ensure capability between system components in your installation

3: Why is installing a Grundfos MIXIT mixing loop solution a good idea?
You reduce complexity and time spent on selecting and sizing and MIXIT is up to 25% more cost effective than other solutions
4: In our example, how much more energy efficient is a hydronic system compared to an air-based VAV system?
An increase in energy efficiency of 35%
4: In our example, how much more energy efficient is a hydronic system compared to an air-based VAV system?
No real energy savings – but 35% installation cost savings
