Ecademy for Commercial Professionals
Created specifically for professionals dealing with commercial, government and public buildings, the new Grundfos Ecademy contains carefully selected educational training and useful insights.
Broken into bite size modules that can be dipped in and out of when you want, launch topics range from commercial heating and pressure boosting to life cycle costing and understanding and operating the MAGNA3, with more already in the pipeline.
Commercial Heating Systems
This topic goes in depth about heating systems in commercial buildings with a special focus on balancing and the advantages of using intelligent pump solutions. This big topic is split into the follwing 7 modules, these a mixture of videos and powerpoint slides and articles:
- An introduction to high performance commercial heating
- Control – methods for handling variable demands
- Commercial heating systems – The Bigger Picture
- Introduction to mixing loops
- Introduction to hydronic systems
- Basic principles of radiant cooling and heating
- Optimising radiant cooling applications
- Efficiency and the EEI
Air Conditioning
There are two perspectives on air conditioning: 1) How to choose the right control mode and 2) Affordability and flexibility of different systems. This topic takes you through both approaches. The 3 video modules include:
- An introduction to air conditioning
- Control modes
- System options and saving possibilities
Life cycle costs
Get introduced to the concept of life cycle cost analysis and reveals the hidden costs of a pumping system. The topic is split into 3 parts including 2 videos and a powerpoint slide:
- An introduction to life cycle costs
- Control modes for maximum savings
- Case example: New York hotel
Water Boosting in Commercial Buildings
Here you will learn about pressure boosting and how you can increase comfort and bring down operational costs by choosing the optimum solution. You will learn about pressure boosting and how you can increase comfort and bring down operational costs by choosing the optimum solution. The topic includes the following sections:
- Introduction to Grundfos water boosting
- The advantages of zone divided booster systems
- Water boosting systems in commercial buildings
Grundfos MAGNA3
This is a 3 topic series realting to the Grundfos MAGNA3, these topics consist of the following:
- About MAGNA3 - 5 videos and a presentation.
- MAGNA3 operation and control - 3 videos including oportation and control modes, advatages of using FlowLIMIT and balencing heating systems.
- Selling MAGNA3 - 1 article and a presentation.
Grundfos MAGNA1
This topic contains one video which explains how the MAGNA1 is suitable for replacement and new build work, and provides three operational modes; constant pressure, proportional pressure and constant speed.
You will gain a greater understanding of the pump’s functionality and how it delivers energy-efficient, cost effective and reliable operation.
