We spend a large amount of time in buildings. Buildings that are part of an aging infrastructure, buildings that are over 50 years old and equipped with water and heating systems that are outdated, obsolete and inefficient. Collectively, the building environment is the single largest energy consumer in the EU and one of the largest CO2 emitters. Buildings are responsible for 40% of energy consumed and 36% of greenhouse emissions. With a growing population, growing urbanisation, and growing demand for housing, there’s a spiralling need to look closer at how we can change the way we impact climate by adopting sustainable building solutions.
In modern buildings there’s a focus on high comfort at low energy consumption. This means all components, including pumps, must be energy efficient, adapt to the current need and play its part in a big, complex system. Hence why all Xylem products for heating systems are designed to meet and exceed the latest standards regarding energy efficiency and can communicate with modern building systems using for instance Modbus or BACnet.
We’re not the only people those systems need to please. They also need to comply with government regulations, and that can be a bit trickier

The cost of running and maintaining a high performing HVAC system is growing every year. How can we mitigate these costs?
Ensuring sustainable HVAC systems is not only a challenge in itself, it’s a common theme of most other challenges facing the industry.
There’s not much worse than a poorly ventilated office in the middle of summer, except perhaps an overheated office mid-winter. Malfunctions wreak havoc, minimising malfunctions and downtime is vital.
We can better optimise our systems through the effective use of sensory and monitoring technologies.
