Driving best-in-class system design through pump-based data collection

摘要

When upgrading or replacing HVAC systems the traditional approach is to collect data via multiple metering devices. Whilst this provides the system designer with baseline information, it may not be the most effective way of approaching the collection of information. This traditional approach has a number of shortcomings. Firstly, the system designer may require more accurate and detailed information than the flow meters are capable of providing. Secondly, and most importantly, investment in metering and monitoring, in itself, is incapable of achieving energy and cost savings during the (often long, and protracted) design stage.
