SUMMARY:May Lunch Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Traditional chilled water systems rely on control and balancing valves that complicate design\, demand significant commissioning effort\, and often underperform in the field. This session introduces a modern distributed pumping approach that replaces those valves with intelligent\, demand‑driven pumps — simplifying design\, reducing commissioning time\, and improving energy performance. \n\nWhat we’ll cover\n\nDistributed pumping concepts and how they differ from traditional designs\nControl strategies for demand‑driven pumping\nReplacing control and balancing valves with intelligent pumps\nImproving ΔT and reducing pump energy consumption\nReal‑world results: streamlined commissioning and operation\n\nSpeaker\n\nChris Ireland has 19 years of industry experience\, including 13 years with Grundfos\, and holds a Bachelor’s in Construction Management with an emphasis in technology from Utah Valley University. Specializing in distributed pumping and project management\, Chris manages training at the Sustainable Buildings Academy and leads a team of subject matter experts overseeing Grundfos’ key products and initiatives. He has earned recognition such as the Grundfos MVP award. Outside of work\, he is dedicated to family activities\, home projects\, and gardening. \nNetworking begins at 11:30 AM. Lunch is included and will be served at noon\, followed by the program.
