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

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

5: A distributed pumping system is self-balancing – what does this mean?
No time-consuming balancing and commissioning process is required
5: A distributed pumping system is self-balancing – what does this mean?
No need to manually check return and control valves – they adjust automatically
