Test results
Congratulations. You have passed the test and completed the 84 - Adding value in HVAC applications
Achieved badges:
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: 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: What component does a Grundfos distributed pumping solution make redundant?
A: Primary pumps
Q: What component does a Grundfos distributed pumping solution make redundant?
A: Secondary pumps
Q: What component does a Grundfos distributed pumping solution make redundant?
A: Balancing and control valves
Q: Does choosing a hydronic system affect the indoor climate?
A: No, you choose a hydronic system to save money on installation and energy
Q: Does choosing a hydronic system affect the indoor climate?
A: Yes, indoor climate is improved, and you get cost savings as well
Q: Does choosing a hydronic system affect the indoor climate?
A: Yes, the improved indoor climate makes it worthwhile paying for an expensive solution
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: Can Grundfos products be monitored and controlled via a BMS system?
A: No, Grundfos pumps provide load adaptive performance, so no external control is possible
Q: Can Grundfos products be monitored and controlled via a BMS system?
A: Yes, Grundfos pumps still require manual monitoring and control
Q: Can Grundfos products be monitored and controlled via a BMS system?
A: Yes, Grundfos pumps can be monitored and controlled via a BMS system as well as offering load adaptive performance
