Are Your Water Distribution Systems Ready for Heat Pumps?
The move towards heat pumps is gathering pace, but replacing the heat source is only part of the picture. For many existing buildings, the bigger challenge is understanding whether the water distribution system is actually ready for the change. Flow rates, terminal units, control valves, pumps and system temperatures all come into play, particularly in […]
How Smart Actuators Can Improve Building Performance
Smart actuators are opening up new possibilities for how water systems in buildings are monitored, controlled and improved. For engineers and designers, that creates opportunities to make better use of system data, improve performance and explore new ways of managing energy use. It also means looking beyond the products and approaches that have been used […]
How Capture Was Developed
Capture was developed from a simple idea: could the capabilities of Smart Actuators be used to create a practical monitoring solution for HVAC systems? That idea began to take shape in the autumn of 2023, following several meetings with Danfoss about the NovoCon actuator. There are several manufacturers of Smart Actuators on the market, but […]
