To help facilitate remote HVAC management during the COVID-19 pandemic,Armstronghas announced that it will extend until the end of 2020 the offer of free subscriptions for its cloud-based service, Pump Manager.
“The original offer of three free monthsof Pump Manager service to new customers was scheduled to expire in August but we recognize that there is still a need to maintain social distancing wherever possible,” said Tunji Asiwaju, Global Performance Management Services with Armstrong. “Pump Manager helps buildings operate at peak efficiency without the need for onsite monitoring.”
Armstrong Fluid Technology says it has introduced new larger sizes of the Design Envelope Tango, a compact, low-carbon dual pump that ensures uninterrupted service, even during maintenance.
Its innovative valve design means the pump can be serviced without interrupting flow or affecting occupant comfort, according to a spokesman for Armstrong, an innovator in the design, engineering and manufacturing of intelligent fluid flow equipment, control solutions and optimisation technologies.
The retrofit of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment could be a potential shortcut along the road to net-zero, says KEVIN LAIDLER, Sales Director, Middle East and Africa of Armstrong Fluid Technology.
To many of us, the construction boom that transformed a barren desert into a glittering metropolis may seem like only yesterday, but those once newly-constructed buildings are now more than 15 years old. Since then, we’ve seen the advent of Google, the rise of Facebook, and the introduction of driverless cars. With that in mind, how can we possibly believe that heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems installed before the launch of the first iPhone are still adequate?

Dubai, UAE: Armstrong Fluid Technology, a leading innovator in the design and manufacturing of intelligent fluid-flow and control solutions, is fueling the regional shift towards sustainable energy consumption through its high-value, energy-saving solutions.
Armstrong Fluid Technologyhas announced a new tiered suite of service plans to assist customers in North America. The new Silver, Gold and Platinum service plans provide customers with cost-effective options to implement Active Performance Management practices, as they seek to optimize building performance and business results. All three levels of the program provide analytics, phone support and structured reports on asset performance. The more comprehensive plans include replacement parts and annual site visits.
As facility managers, contractors and service professionals gain experience working with remote performance tracking capabilities for intelligent pumps, the HVAC industry is learning how valuable this type of subscription service can be. It seems that many customers originally agreed to the purchase of a performance tracking subscription service on the assumption that it would serve only as a security blanket, but would be mostly unnecessary. Based on the testimonial stories provided by customers describing service, maintenance and performance management scenarios, the subscription service has proven its value many times over. Examples detailing how remote performance tracking prevented a serious negative outcome, organized into categories, are presented below.
Kevin Laidler, MEA sales director for Armstrong Fluid Technology, says that energy-efficient upgrades for HVAC systems are vital to creating safer, stronger and more sustainable spaces in our cities
Building facilities represent a major portion of energy consumption in the built environment, responsible for about 40% of all energy usage, and a similar proportion of greenhouse gas emissions.

Located in downtown Toronto, the Delta hotel on Lower Simcoe Street, near the waterfront, is one of the largest and most luxurious in Canada. Sustainability is an important part of operations for the entire Delta organization, and the Delta is rated as one of the top sustainable hotels in Canada. But the hotel managers also maintain a careful focus on customer satisfaction and comfort and that has a direct effect on the HVAC system, as temperatures in the guest rooms and meeting spaces are maintained within a narrow band.
The profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the HVAC industry is being felt by all of us in the HVAC industry. The current challenges and threats have been well documented and, unfortunately, will continue to evolve over the coming days, weeks and months.
However, as with many tragic events, there can be positive changes that come from this tragedy. One of these positive changes will be the more rapid development and deployment of smart HVAC systems and remote asset management solutions.
