1: Is material waste reduced when using Grundfos Modular HVAC systems?
Yes, as factory production of HVAC modules is far more efficient than onsite construction
1: 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

2: What component does a Grundfos distributed pumping solution make redundant?
Balancing and control valves
3: 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%
3: 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

4: 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
5: A distributed pumping system is self-balancing – what does this mean?
No need to integrate a primary pump into the building’s management system
You can find the answer here >
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
