Success Stories Around the World

Patient rooms with quickly adaptable room climate using Belimo products.

Serious illnesses and injuries place high demands not only on the personnel and infrastructure of a hospital. In particular, patients are faced with the major challenge of long stays and extensive treatments.
The University Hospital Zurich (USZ) has always been a leader in the treatment of burn injuries and was able to further strengthen its position by opening the new «SUED2» building. Among other things, it is equipped with a specialised clinic for the treatment of burn victims, which offers the highest degree of comfort for patients through the use of Belimo products and also makes longer stays in the clinic more pleasant. The building was planned and designed by the USZ Real Estate Directorate in collaboration with the Canton of Zurich Construction Directorate. The HVAC installation was planned by Hochstrasser Glaus & Partner Consulting AG, system integrator was Burkhalter Technics AG.

Reliable sensor technology ensures smooth system operation.

In August 2019, the Swiss Institute for Translational and Entrepreneurial Medicine (sitem-insel) in the Berner Insel district was opened after a construction period of almost two and a half years. This site should further strengthen Berne as a leading  medical location with international appeal. The main objective of the research  and innovation centre is the transfer of scientific findings from basic research  and industrial developments into clinical applications.

Over 800 Belimo components were installed in the gold award-winning new building from Scott Sports.

In spring 2019, the Swiss sporting goods manufacturer Scott Sports moved into a new office building at its headquarters in Givisiez. The striking, prestigious building offers over 26,000 square meters of space for 600 employees. The centrepiece is a light-flooded atrium with vertical wooden slats. Another eye-catcher are the filigree sun protection sails made of anodised aluminium on the facade. The architectural firm Itten+Brechbühl received the Gold Prize of the Swiss Arc Award in 2017 for the Open BIM process.

Belimo Sensors Help Streamline Healthcare Facility Upgrades

Established in 2001, this publicly funded healthcare service provider is responsible for delivering health-related services to over 740,000 people across the southern interior region of British Columbia, Canada. The project involved switching from pneumatic to direct digital controls (DDC) to improve efficiency and modernize the building automation system (BAS). In total, Belimo supplied Houle with over 500 products for the building upgrades, including 339 sensors (temperature, pressure, humidity, CO2), 94 damper actuators, 77 universal global valve linkage retrofit kits, and 22 larger globe valves.The use of Belimo’s air differential pressure sensors helped save the owner $16,800 in upfront costs.

Reducing energy consumption and harmful emissions

Bringing thermal energy to where it can be used. With Belimo Energy Valve™.
It is not just the rising energy prices that is making heat recovery increasingly interesting for companies. Hagl GmbH in Gütlsdorf / Attenkirchen, which has been operating successfully for over 25 years in the sheet metal and metal processing sector with 130 employees, has shown the courage to embrace new ideas in its use of alternative energy sources and improving energy efficiency. For example, it has already installed a well system with a heat pump, a photovoltaic system, hot-water generation via an evaporation rig cast into the baseplate and built a wall heating system for heating and cooling. The latest project at Hagl is the heat recovery system on the hydraulic presses to heat the company buildings. The Belimo Energy Valve™ is largely responsible for ensuring that the volumetric flows, supply and return temperatures and energy recovery on the presses can be regulated, recorded and evaluated.

Opened in April 2018, the Mission Event Center is a 40,000 square feet, state-of-the-art commercial space located in the thriving city of Mission, Texas. To help enable this energy-saving functionality, the HVAC controls contractor for Mission Event Center, Climatec, turned to Belimo. Climatec selected Belimo to supply multiple products for the HVAC system at the facility, including 25 Variable Air Volume (VAV) damper actuators and two chilled water butterfly isolation valves. Sensors were also provided, including CO2, air temperature, humidity, and water temperature.

Seamless energy monitoring in the "Flagship" of the Lenzerheide

The new Motta Hut is the hub for hungry and thirsty snow sports enthusiasts.

The slopes and ski lifts in the Arosa Lenzerheide ski resort had just barely shut down in 2017 before the bulldozers moved in to tear down the old Motta Hut. The new flagship project had to be ready by the start of the 2017/2018 ski season. The new Motta Hut has room inside for 120 people and outside for 240 more on its ample, multi-level sun terrace. The innovative timber-frame construction ensures a rustic, yet modern ambiance, both inside and out. This makes the new ski restaurant an international flagship and an experience for every snow sport enthusiast. To ensure that the restaurant operators would be able to take care of their guests, a HVAC system with the maximum amount of automation was once again selected for the Motta Hut. As with other projects, the plant was also equipped with Belimo products. The new sensor product range attracted just as much attention as the Belimo Energy Valve™ with Cloud connection.

How the differential pressure switch optimizes air handling units and makes them safer.
In early 2017, Belimo introduced a new product range of duct sensors for ventilation applications and pipe sensors for water applications. The new product range was presented to the original equipment manufacturer UTEK. The differential pressure switch 01APS especially caught their interest. UTEK develops and produces air handling and heat recovery units for residential and industrial applications and already utilizes various damper actuators from Belimo.
