Armstrong Fluid Technology has unveiled its SMART Recommissioning service, designed to assist building operators in optimizing the performance and efficiency of HVAC systems.
According to Armstrong, the service includes updates to pump operations, control strategies, and building automation system (BAS) integration.
It works by aligning configuration settings with current building loads, enabling cloud connectivity, and documenting asset details.
This service addresses discrepancies often found between estimated and actual building load values used during HVAC commissioning.
Over time, these discrepancies and factors such as tenant changes or shifts in sun exposure can impact HVAC efficiency, requiring adjustments to maintain performance.
The SMART Recommissioning service includes a multi-point check of pump operations, performance optimization bundles, and firmware updates where necessary.
Other features include a 30-day comprehensive service report that highlights asset operation and identifies issues.
Customers also receive 12 months of additional parts and labor warranty, contingent on the service report’s findings, as well as a 12-month subscription to Armstrong’s Pump Manager performance tracking service.
Shashank Lal, Armstrong’s Global Service Experience Leader, explained the service’s goal: “SMART Recommissioning will help operators, managers and owners get the best performance from their system and maximize their investment in high quality solutions.”
Armstrong emphasized that the service is particularly useful as buildings undergo changes post-commissioning.
Variations in heating and cooling demands often arise due to evolving tenant requirements or environmental factors.
“Buildings and HVAC systems can experience a wide range of changes post commissioning.
“For optimal HVAC performance and efficiency, these changes must be reflected in the current system settings,” Lal said.
By recalibrating HVAC systems to reflect actual operating conditions, the SMART Recommissioning service is expected to enhance operational efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and extend equipment lifespan.
Armstrong states that the service aims to deliver long-term operational cost savings and energy efficiency.
These enhancements also support better resource management and improved environmental impact.
“Ultimately this service will save energy, reduce operating costs and extend equipment life,” Lal added.
