Intelligent
Pump Systems
for Commercial
Buildings
With 5.6 million
commercial buildings
consuming 20% of
our country’s energy,
It’s time for intelligent
solutions.
There are more than 5.6 million commercial buildings in the United States
today, totaling over 87.1 billion square feet — from skyscrapers and schools
to hotels and hospitals. These buildings account for more than 20% of our
country’s energy consumption and face continuous pressure to reduce usage
and join the growing ranks of those seeking LEED and ENERGY STAR
certification. That’s why Grundfos offers a range of intelligent systems for
any application, for both new construction and retrofits, to help you
improve overall energy efficiency without sacrificing comfort or reliability.
Heating & Cooling
Keep the people in your building comfortable while reducing your energy consumption, costs and environmental
footprint. Grundfos pump systems adapt continuously to system demands.

Pressure Boosting
Keep pressure consistent throughout your building, from floor to floor, all day long. Grundfos boosting systems make it
possible with optimal efficiency.

Wastewater
Balance your water system performance and reliability with cost efficiency and serviceability. Grundfos can design your
entire system to meet your specific needs, leveraging high-quality components and decades of expertise.

Water Treatment
Ensure safe, clean water throughout your building with the highest level of efficiency. Grundfos chlorine dioxide
disinfection systems deliver superior performance.

Fire Protection
Rest assured that your pump is reliable in emergency situations, regardless of the type of fire protection system in your
building. Grundfos provides a range of specialized solutions that allow you to focus on what’s important in the event of a fire.

District Energy Central Plant

Heat and cool a series of buildings with optimal efficiency through a connected system. Grundfos solutions maintain
comfort while decreasing your energy consumption and life cycle costs.

Rainwater Harvesting
Reduce your water consumption and improve overall building sustainability by collecting rainwater for non-potable
uses. Grundfos rainwater harvesting systems feature integrated smart controls for energy-efficient operation.
Pumping intelligence
for today’s smart
buildings
High-performing buildings require reliable, high-performing pumps that
can meet your evolving needs. Grundfos has designed intelligent pump
systems that address your changing demands by allowing you to take
control of your entire system. Smart control modes allow our pumps to
automatically adjust to the most critical system demands, to ensure
optimal temperature, flow and pressure without compromise. Grundfos
gives you a pump system that helps you achieve the performance
you’re looking for, while increasing the efficiency of any application.

Grundfos systems
Our intelligent pump systems are optimizing
the way pumps and drives work with control and
protection, measurement, and communication
units as part of one system.
Grundfos communication
It’s easy to control our intelligent pump systems from your own
building management system (BMS) because our pumps can talk
to every BMS. The permanent magnet MLE motor easily integrates
with many communication network protocols, including the two
leading protocols: BACnet and LON.

Looking for a mobile option? The Grundfos GO application gives

you full control over pump performance and easy access to
information, reports, and assistance for the Grundfos online tools.
Get ready to save valuable time on pump control, data collection
and reporting with the most comprehensive mobile platform on
the market.
