Energy Performance Upgrades always start with the heart.
Active Performance Management
Pump Manager
A recent upgrade project at a major cinema reduced pump energy usage by 40%, for annual savings of over $20,000.
Active Performance Management along with Armstrong's IPC controller helps restore and maintain comfortable temperature levels in buildings.
With Armstrong's Active Performance Management, powered by [IBM Watson], you can achieve and maintain consistent energy efficiency. Find out how you can upgrade your HVAC system and immediately save up to 40 cents per square foot.
Armstrong recommended The Delta Hotel upgrade one of their existing DualArm pumps to a new Tango pump. Even though the original pump was only 3.5 years old, the new Tango pump is better - with a new design, control algorithms and performance management features. Installed and tuned to match the output of the original pump, the Tango pump is producing the same flow, but using 40% less energy.
THREE OPERATING MODES FOR IMPROVED SAFETY AND SYSTEM PRESSURE CONTROL

Primary operating mode Constant discharge pressure speed control
Ancillary operating mode Constant boost pressure speed control
3
Bypass operating mode Auto bypass operates the pump at grid frequency

The Design Envelope Fire Pump Solution will save you, the contractor, $53,000 on your net installed cost by eliminating the need for 72 PRVs. We are also able to provide a less costly Fire Pump controller , that may also save you money on electrical infrastructure costs. This will also save the building owner an average of $12,500 per year in PRV inspection and maintenance.
Guaranteed Savings
Armstrong, the leader in intelligent pumps, offers innovative solutions that reduce costs dramatically, improve the safety of your tenants and protect your property and assets. Design Envelope Fire Pump Units reduce the cost for the purchase and installation of sprinkler and distribution piping, while reducing associated design work. They also reduce ongoing costs for building operation and maintenance and maximize available space.

YOUR FIRST STEP TO FIRE SAFETY SAVINGS
Design Envelope fire pump units bring designers installation saving opportunities, far beyond existing variable speed controller installations supplied with constant speed fire pumps. Design Envelope fire pump units save on installed costs with:
Smaller fire pump controllers: with soft-start features included in the onboard frequency converter
Precise adjustable speed pressure control: eliminates the requirement for pressure reducing valves (PRVs)
Complete solution including pump , bypass and adjustable speed drive at a fraction of the price of a traditional wall mounted AFD- Adjustable Frequency Drive controllers
Design Envelope Fire Pump Units include the NFPA SRVSFP unit function of
Auto Bypass
Adjustable Frequency Drives
