Success Stories Around the World

Economical heating and cooling for the best possible room comfort.

After more than 20 years in Altenrhein, in 2020 Stadler moved to a newly built factory and competence centre for double-decker multiple unit trains in St. Margrethen. On an area of around 35,000 square meters, nearly 850 employees develop, manufacture and assemble trains, trams, rolling stock and passenger carriages for the Swiss and international markets. In an additional 5,000 square meters of office space, around 500 employees carry out development work and support Stadler throughout the company in the areas of calculations and approvals.

Smart, cost-optimised solutions increase comfort and safety in the building.

Ziegler Druck- und Verlags-AG was a Swiss media service provider and publishing house founded in 1836 and based in Winterthur. The publishing house included the newspapers "Der Landbote" and the "Winterthurer Stadtanzeiger". Following its takeover by the Zurich-based media group Tamedia, the Ziegler printing press ceased operations at the end of 2015.

Since taking sole ownership of the Dunn Building in West Virginia, Berkeley County officials have initiated multiple capital improvement projects to lower costs and increase energy efficiency. The most recent upgrade with Maryland-based Boland Trane was to perform a complete overhaul of the building's heating and cooling systems. For the project, Boland replaced several outdated system components with state-of-the-art energy-conserving technologies – one of which was the Belimo Energy Valve™.

The upgrade project's primary motivation was to decrease HVAC energy consumption and cost and improve occupant comfort. Boland Trane's solution for achieving these goals was two-fold. The first objective was to improve the efficiency of the production of hot and chilled water. The second was to optimize the utilization to meet the building's heating and cooling load.

World's first: Building renovation to receive triple certification

The Challenger site in the Parisian suburb of Guyancourt is to date unique in the world with respect to sustainable building renovation. In 2014, the French construction group Bouygues will have renovated all of its headquarter buildings, which was builtin 1988 and has a total area of 67,000 m², in accordance with the most stringent of environmental and energy efficiency specifications. The consumption of primary energy and water will be reduced thereby to 10% and 40%, respectively, of their original values.

The Belimo Energy Valve™ also monitors energy consumption too

It's not just patients with heart conditions that are being monitored in the new clinic Zan Mitrev for cardiology in Skopje, Macedonia. Since its opening on 1 March 2016, it has also been possible to monitor the flow of energy by using the Belimo Energy Valve™. As in cardiac surgery, the entire HVAC system had to meet very high standards in terms of precision, reliability, transparency and safety. The perfect solution lies in the precise and innovative Belimo Energy Valves™.

Where precision and flexibility go hand in hand

The new Logistikcenter 4 of Galliker Transport AG in Dagmersellen delivers unparalleled energy efficiency. In terms of heat technology, the entire logistics centre is totally autonomous and is therefore setting new standards in environmental technology and sustainability. Foodstuffs, but also pharmaceutical products, can be kept in ideal storage conditions in an area covering 22,000 square metres in an automated deep-freeze, high-bay warehouse and various storage spaces with different temperature zones.

Intelligent Energy Valve solves longstanding hydraulics problems

The Ludmillenstift hospital in Meppen/Germany is renowned well beyond the local area for its standard of medical care, state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic technology and its pleasant atmosphere. However, a large number of modernisations over the years, in the form of extensions or modifications, resulted in problems in the hospital's hydraulic distributor circuits. These have finally been rectified through the use of Belimo Energy Valves™.

EPIV – the energy-efficient and sustainable solution for 'Happyland'

'Happyland' in Klosterneuburg (Austria) offers a huge range of leisure activities for all ages including an indoor wellness pool, a large outdoor sports pool, various playing fields and a large sauna area. In 2013 the operator decided to undertake major renovation, extension and modification work. State-ofthe-art technical systems were used, for example to renovate the heating distribution and complex ventilation system. Particular importance was attached to the perfect control technology. The EPIV – one of Belimo's innovative products – more than lived up to its role as a problem-solver in this project.

5-stars for energy efficiency at Marriott Hotel Al Jaddaf in Dubai

The Marriott Hotel chain opened its hotel experience on January 15th 2014 in Dubai, UAE. With its brilliant design and perfect location in Al Jaddaf, this 5-star hotel has an abundance of thoughtful amenities. These include fully automated luxury guest rooms and suite accommodation that encourages relaxation, with luxury bedding, marble bathrooms, high-speed Internet and flat-screen TVs, also providing views of the Dubai skyline. The hotel offers 352 luxury guest rooms and 128 hotel apartments. The Belimo products could be efficient implemented and enable a sustainable and maintaince-free system.

Measuring, controlling, balancing and shutting with a single valve unit

The DonauSplash indoor swimming pool in Tulln, which was originally constructed in 1974, was reopened after almost a year and a half of general renovation in October 2014. The entire building technology was updated as part of the general renovation and a conversion from natural gas to biomass district heating was implemented. Efficient utilisation of energy was the motto of the building technology consulting engineers – after all, the heating output is about 500 kW. About 30 m³ of water is moved every hour in order to control the temperature of the individual bathing zones. The electronically controlled Electronic Pressure-Independent Valve (EPIV) from Belimo provides a tight seal in order to prevent energy losses in the water circuits, and increases efficiency during planning, implementation and operation.
