Modular Pumping Systems for HVAC: Delivering and Maintaining Building Efficiency

Today’s engineers face increased pressure to deliver more efficient buildings, with tighter timelines and smaller budgets. Pumps have traditionally been a small part of the overall HVAC system, but with improved technology are key to maintaining the original design intention. Advanced pump control logic and moving from field-built to packaged pumping systems simplifies specification, installation, operation, and maintenance.

 

 

Objectives:

  1. How pump design impacts maintenance and efficiency throughout the building’s life
  2. Energy use, relevant standards, and load profiles
  3. How control modes and sensors impact system operation and comfort levels
  4. Finding the right supplier and system that simplifies your project
