DANBURY, Conn. — Belimo, a manufacturer of field devices for the energy-efficient control of HVAC systems, has launched its RetroFIT+ program, designed to help customers maximize building efficiency and contribute to a greener future.
RetroFIT+ is the next iteration of the Belimo retrofit program, which offers online resources, including a product-selection tool, as well as personal support to provide quick and easy access to HVAC replacement solutions for actuators, valves, and sensors, the company said in a press release. The replacement solutions ensure that systems function reliably with the proper control of hydronic loops and air distribution, and they boost the performance and efficiency of building systems, enhance comfort levels, reduce carbon emissions, and can deliver significant energy savings, the company said.
There are three levels to the RetroFIT+ program: maximizing building efficiency by updating the entire HVAC system, and thereby realizing the biggest savings and efficiencies; replacing some older equipment with newer, innovative products, thus increasing occupant comfort while also achieving significant energy savings; and conducting quick and easy fixes, such as checking the measurement of relevant parameters and recommissioning HVAC systems and devices to ensure they are optimized for the building’s current state.
“Belimo products offer a wonderful opportunity to maximize an existing building’s efficiency and ensure healthy indoor air for occupants,” said Daniel Caldwell, business manager of RetroFIT+ at Belimo Americas. “Among these are the Belimo Energy Valve and Belimo Room Sensors. The Energy Valve provides transparency into hydronic loops so customers can see how their systems distribute energy, where they’re wasting that energy, and even optimize that energy consumption. Our Room Sensors provide reliable and accurate measurement of temperature, humidity, dew point and CO2 and, with near-field-communications, allow for quick data access, field adjustments, commissioning, and troubleshooting.
“Belimo does not stand still,” Caldwell added. “These products are examples of how we continue to innovate and provide industry-leading resources that have a great impact on building efficiency and energy consumption, especially in retrofit projects.”
