Tall buildings

With a portfolio of leading, innovative solutions we have a wide range of applications and products to meet your needs. Discover how you can equip the plant room to specifications that will meet the challenges faced with the dimensions of the tall building.

Securing an evenly balanced pressure is a key challenge for tall buildings. With solutions tailored to the shell and core structure we address this challenge head-on.

Tall buildings must accommodate a multitude of different requirements and preferences across each floor. Our range of solutions for the branch structure of the tall building will enable you to secure a customised indoor climate for future occupants. 

The Danfoss SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system is designed to provide reliable and efficient fire protection for a wide range of applications.  It is especially well-suited for protecting spaces (such as tall buildings) where traditional sprinkler systems might not be the most optimal choice due to water damage concerns or specific fire risk requirements.

Ultimately, the smartest buildings are the most energy efficient, comfortable, and convenient. The heart of this is HVAC data—vital for developing intelligent buildings that can become home to smart environments. We develop smart solutions that provide or use HVAC data for Active Energy Management (AEM). The data allows remote commissioning, predictive maintenance, and optimisation of heating, ventilation, and cooling systems.

Unlock unprecedented energy savings and create a more sustainable future for tall buildings? Look no further than Danfoss Leanheat, the cutting-edge solution that will transform the way you think about heating management.

Danfoss Leanheat is a state-of-the-art heating optimisation system designed to maximise efficiency and comfort in residential and commercial buildings. With its advanced technology and intelligent algorithms, Leanheat takes your heating system to new heights, allowing you to achieve significant energy savings while maintaining optimal indoor temperatures.

In Germany, the use of district heating is not quite that widespread, compared to in some other EU-countries. One exception, however, is Hamburg, which has a vast district heating network supplying 19% of all households with district heating, compared to just 8-14% in the rest of the country. Politicians in charge have declared that the district heating infrastructure will continue to be expanded; their goal is to connect 50,000 additional households to the district heating network by year 2020.

Given a choice, I would certainly opt for Danfoss products. The quality of the equipment is outstanding, and the available service and support is also a big plus. For more complex installations, Danfoss specialists help us with questions regarding the construction and design.

The way district energy networks are balanced and optimised is changing. A new generation of Virtus intelligent ready pressure and flow controllers are here to ensure high durability, improved functionality and performance. With unique intelligent optimisation solution iSET, this will save even more energy whilst providing excellent range and accuracy.

This case study describes how new residential apartment developments in the UK have been equipped with intelligent solutions that give great control and stability of the district energy network.

"The Virtus combined with iSET provides a demand responsive range of flow in order to meet peak and off-peak demand. This product is superior to standard AFQM’s in terms of the range and accuracy of the valve, greatly reducing heat transfer losses. This was the key reason for specifying this solution."

Danfoss provides the leading, low-maintenance fire suppression system for the entire hotel with a SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system using PAH pumps, VRH, VCH and VDHT valves. 

High-pressure water mist systems have many advantages compared to traditional wet pipe sprinkler systems, especially for high-rise buildings. Owners and architects like them because they save precious space by eliminating the need for large-diameter water pipes and reservoirs on the roof and multiple floors. If a fire does break out, the fine water mist suppresses flames both by removing oxygen and by reducing heat – with significantly lower flux density and, consequently, less water damage.

Discover more about how Danfoss fire suppression technology fits perfectly into the tall building construction. 

Danfoss is a renowned global manufacturer of high-quality solenoid valves used in various industries, including leak detection applications. Solenoid valves are widely used for their precise control and fast response, making them ideal for applications where leak detection and fluid handling are critical.

Leak detection is a crucial aspect in tall buildings where even small leaks can lead to significant energy wastage, environmental harm, and financial losses. Danfoss solenoid valves play a key role in these applications by ensuring that fluid flow is regulated and controlled effectively to prevent leaks and minimise potential damage.

This 16 story high-rise student accommodation was constructed in Tampere, Finland.  During the specification stage, the fire safety equipment chosen was the Danfoss SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water
mist fire fighting system.

For a tall building, the advantages of the Danfoss SEM-SAFE system are that it minimises water damage, is aesthetically more appealing than a traditional sprinkler system, and has a relatively low investment cost.  Discover how the system, which compromises of electric pumps, 3,800m of pipes, and 722 nozzle heads is protecting this building. 

Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, is located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). With a staggering 160 floors, reaching 828 metres, the building takes your breath away. AB-QM valves were specified due to fast installation and short commissioning, but energy savings were also an important argument.

"It was a pleasure working with Danfoss and WOTEK engineers
throughout the project. The installation and commissioning
support helped us in getting the valves operational in a quick and proper manner. The product itself showed high value and quality control during installation and functioning, hence the satisfaction from both contractors and building operation team."
