Grundfos, a global leader in advanced pump solutions and a trendsetter in water technology, showcased its wide range of retrofit solutions at an industry event held recently in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

 

The RetrofitTech KSA 2018 is the only specialised conference dedicated to the emerging building retrofit and refurbishment industry in Saudi Arabia, which is rapidly increasing in importance as the kingdom aims to reduce energy consumption and waste by applying smart building standards, retrofitting existing building to balance the energy mix.

 

Green at heart and at the forefront of sustainability, Grundfos played a major role at the event, which witnessed a significant turnout of more than 60 visitors, in a bid to enhance dialogue on the retrofitting market in Saudi Arabia.

 

This event was a crucial part of the roadmap to building a sustainable and energy efficient Saudi Arabia in line with Kingdom Vision 2030.

 

Sessions were themed around energy use and efficiency of buildings, energy-efficient retrofitting, inspections and policy and aimed to explain and extend Grundfos’ wide range of retrofit solutions in support of the energy efficiency program of the kingdom.

 

Commenting on Grundfos valuable solutions, Tolga Candan, business development manager, Energy Optimization and Retrofit Sales, Grundfos Gulf Distribution FZE said: "Pump-retrofit can achieve around 25 per cent on a building’s electricity consumption. With substantial savings on the energy bill and with power prices always on the rise, you can expect quick return on investment when you upgrade your pump solution."

 

"To this end, Grundfos has developed a method called Energy Check to identify savings potential on the existing pumps. An energy check of your pumps provides a solid foundation for saving more than half on the operational costs of your pumps," he stated.

 

Adding further, Candan said: “Pump efficiency is only interesting if reliability is not compromised. Pump maintenance is costly, whether planned or unplanned, and Grundfos does not compromise on reliability with our products.”
