1: 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
1: 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: Is material waste reduced when using Grundfos Modular HVAC systems?
No, the benefits come from less need for time consuming transportation and assembly onsite
You can find the answer here >
5: Is material waste reduced when using Grundfos Modular HVAC systems?
Yes, as factory production of HVAC modules is far more efficient than onsite construction
5: Is material waste reduced when using Grundfos Modular HVAC systems?
No, you get the security of one supplier – but you still need to unpack and install onsite
