Test results
Congratulations. You have passed the test and completed the 84 - Adding value in HVAC applications
Achieved badges:
Q: In our example, how much more energy efficient is a hydronic system compared to an air-based VAV system?
A: An increase in energy efficiency of 35%
Q: In our example, how much more energy efficient is a hydronic system compared to an air-based VAV system?
A: No real energy savings – but 35% installation cost savings
Q: In our example, how much more energy efficient is a hydronic system compared to an air-based VAV system?
A: The savings depend on water pricing
Q: Why is limited space for HVAC installations an issue for building projects?
A: 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
Q: Why is limited space for HVAC installations an issue for building projects?
A: 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
Q: Why is limited space for HVAC installations an issue for building projects?
A: This is an issue that can be resolved by renting out the installation floor area to the service provider
Q: A distributed pumping system is self-balancing – what does this mean?
A: No need to integrate a primary pump into the building’s management system
Q: A distributed pumping system is self-balancing – what does this mean?
A: No time-consuming balancing and commissioning process is required
Q: A distributed pumping system is self-balancing – what does this mean?
A: No need to manually check return and control valves – they adjust automatically
Q: Do Grundfos Modular HVAC systems reduce the HVAC system footprint?
A: No, the benefits come from reducing complexity and time spent on selecting and sizing
Q: Do Grundfos Modular HVAC systems reduce the HVAC system footprint?
A: Yes, but the compact size comes at a high price that the building owner needs to consider in relation to the maximised rentable square meters
Q: Do Grundfos Modular HVAC systems reduce the HVAC system footprint?
A: Yes, benefits come from ensuring maximum profitability of rentable square meters as well as reducing complexity and time spent on selecting and sizing
Q: Do you know how much energy in a commercial building is consumed by a HVAC system?
A: On average 10-20%
Q: Do you know how much energy in a commercial building is consumed by a HVAC system?
A: On average 30-40%
Q: Do you know how much energy in a commercial building is consumed by a HVAC system?
A: On average 50-60%
Q: Is material waste reduced when using Grundfos Modular HVAC systems?
A: No, the benefits come from less need for time consuming transportation and assembly onsite
Q: Is material waste reduced when using Grundfos Modular HVAC systems?
A: Yes, as factory production of HVAC modules is far more efficient than onsite construction
Q: Is material waste reduced when using Grundfos Modular HVAC systems?
A: No, you get the security of one supplier – but you still need to unpack and install onsite
