FlowCon International Our Company Values User Oriented - an extra word on Simplicity Due to the modular construction of the valves, it is very easy to customize FlowCon pro- ducts and make exactly the solution that you require meeting your special project needs. The modular construction furthermore allows more efficient logistics, simplified site hand- ling and easy site maintenance of the product. Besides controlling the water flow, the pro- duct construction is supporting a significantly more efficient distribution, installation, and operation of the valves. From these percentages it is clear, that if a pump can work less, significant energy sav- ings can be achieved. Using dynamic valves: • … may reduce building energy consump- tion by at least 15% by simply ensuring system stability 5 . • … may add a further 30% cost saving through simplified system design by using pressure independent control val- ves, PICVs, and optimal pump control 6 . • … may result in considerable energy-, emission- and cost savings (10-40%) 7 . Environment - an extra word on Energy Savings We are experts in controlling the flow of water and we use our expertise to help optimize the flow to all equipment in a building, leading to energy savings and reduced building car- bon footprint. • 30% of the world’s energy is used in operation of buildings 1 . • HVAC systems account for more than 40% of the energy used in commercial buildings 2 . • 20% of the world’s electricity is used to pump fluids around 3 . • 90% of a pump’s life cycle costs, LCC, is energy related 4 . Solutions - an extra word on Innovation At FlowCon, we work in an innovative en- vironment and move from idea to manufac- tured product quickly. This is also supported by our flat company structure which moti- vates close cooperation across departments and rapid reaction to market needs. We are constantly developing products in response to market demands, introducing at least 2 new products each year. More than 5% of our income is invested in research and de- velopment. 1) Source: International Energy Agency, ‘Tracking Report’, September 2022. 2) Source: US Department of Energy, 2010 and Council of Australian Governments, ‘Guide to Best Practice Maintenance and Operation of HVAC Systems for Energy Efficiency’, January 2012. 3) Source: Hydraulic Institute via Triangular Wave Technology, ’Equipment Applications Fact Sheet Series’. 4) Source: Science Direct, ‘Life Cycle Energy Cost Savings through careful System Design’, 2007. 5) Source: Science Direct, ‘A Critical review for Buildings Energy Performance’, 2021. 6) Source: University of Southern Denmark, ‘Fault Detection and Efficiency Assessment for HVAC Systems.’, 2022. 7) Source: US Energy Information Administration. www.flowcon.com
