Intelligent Design And Control

The whole topic of fire protection has become an important focus that is of real interest to both within and outside the industry. Pump solutions play a very important role in protecting both our high-rise buildings as well as the safety of the people within them.

Staying current with evolving frameworks, guidelines is increasingly challenging for building services professionals aiming to contribute to net zero across the entire value chain. The 2023 revision to PAS 2080, the world’s first specification for decarbonising buildings and infrastructure, highlights the importance of collaboration among professionals to reduce whole-life carbon and ensure comprehensive sustainability. This CPD is designed to guide you through the process of designing and future proofing projects from initial concept to final installation. We will explore best practices in energy-efficient solutions, discuss the principles of sustainability, and delve into lifecycle sustainability.

This webinar will look at the evolutionary development encompassing new technologies to decrease lifecycle costings over an elongated period. It will also encompass updating older more established products through the use of digital workable solutions, digital manufacturing, BIM, digital supply and information services.

This presentation explains the key benefits of adopting an optimised decentralised pump system. In a nutshell, this Distributed Pumping method allows a building to deliver optimum comfort whilst delivering significant energy savings in a buildings HVAC systems. This solution can be delivered as part of a new or a retro fit project.

Pumps play a key role in supporting every industrial process and application. Two thirds of all currently installed pumps use up to 60% too much energy and therefore have the potential to play a significant role in reducing energy and CO2 emissions. This pump energy optimisation masterclass will explore the topics of motor efficiency, look at variable speed operation, examine how various control philosophies can be brought to bear on life cycle costs and will help to demonstrate the many benefits pumps can deliver, by looking at individual pumps as well a fully integrated pump system solution.

Off-site build has become an important trend that many industries, including the water industry have been moving towards in recent years. This is not surprising due to the myriad of benefits this type of engineering offers to an increasingly wide range of applications.

This webinar looks to delve deeper into how clever design, with a heavy influence on true value engineering, can overcome a vast range of issues on booster systems. It discusses the practical ways to design out known pitfalls using the latest in control architecture and packaged pump booster technology. It also offers combined advice regarding mechanical, electrical and software attributes, to help you design in resilience and design out problems

The incessant increase in the number of high-rise buildings in the UK is creating a series of additional challenges for building services professionals. In this webinar Grundfos will look at some of the more complex demands this places on creating the best M&E solutions. It will put, HVAC, boosting, fire prevention, off-site build and digital connectivity, under the spotlight and will look at how these elements individually and more importantly collectively, can have a significant impact on any high-rise outcome.

Building services engineers are becoming increasingly involved in a wider range of areas that are outside their traditional remit. This includes being able to understand and specify district energy. This presentation looks to give some basic guidance on the topic and the aspects they need to focus on.

OSB is not a new concept but recent advances in materials, manufacturing and product management processes and organisation, have meant there are now even more opportunities to reap the benefits offered by these adaptable ‘plug ‘n pump’ solutions. By harnessing intelligent design, this type of modular build approach can answer a range of demands from within the Fire, HVAC, water boosting, HIU, district energy sectors as well as data centre applications. This presentation will give you a greater insight into off-site systems and to find out more about how these versatile solutions can support increasingly complex designs and help you to deliver them on a plate.

The demand for pressure boosting systems has continued to rise in recent years and so has the engineered sophistication of the pump solutions being supplied to meet the varied requirements for these units. Applications that require these systems include, water supply, irrigation systems, water treatment systems, industrial application and of course a hugely diverse area of commercial applications. This CPD module looks at the main aspects M&E professionals need to be aware of when considering specifying a booster set.

Building service engineers are becoming increasingly involved in a wider range of areas that are outside their traditional remit. This includes being able to understand and specify wastewater pumps. This presentation looks to give basic guidance on some of the issues they will encounter.

This webinar looks at the various aspects of pump design that surround pressure boosting, liquid cooling and heating, to examine how the latest intelligent design to value engineering can positively impact on building services systems. Themes covered will include, how pump control can impact on life cycle costs, why you should use functional control with pumps, as well as demonstrating the benefits of harnessing energy reduction and system enhancements across application areas. The advantages of design replication, futureproofing and analysis will also come under scrutiny.

Buildings are continually evolving to meet changing demands. With ambitions to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, one way to achieve this is to consider altering/upgrading an existing buildings fabric, as opposed to building from new. This webinar demonstrates the significant returns that can be generated by upgrading the building services infrastructure to deliver carbon savings, and improve operational efficiencies. A one-size-fits-all approach to refurbishment is not appropriate or proportionate, this webinar takes a broader view and will look to ‘upfurbish’ the M&E systems and demonstrate, how the return will be much greater than the sum of its parts.
