System balancing in buildings
Increasing energy efficiency in buildings is about more than equipment. Check out our articles and on-demand trainings to get the latest knowledge around hydronic balancing—from basics to applications and advantages
Reduce energy waste and help saving money on the heating bills
With energy costs rising, consumers are looking for ways to increase the energy efficiency of their heating systems. For many, that will mean switching to a more efficient heat source. And while that’s a great first step, there’s so much more you as an installer can do for them. For example, by installing thermostatic radiator valves, a quick, simple addition to your customer’s heating system, you can help them reduce energy waste and save money on their heating bills.
By choosing a Danfoss product, we ensure you easy installation, support and handy tools to make your work.
Turn up the savings with a small upgrade
Upgrading the radiator thermostats is one of the most cost-effective and fastest ways to reduce energy waste. Your customers can save up to 46% on the energy consumption!

Heat source optimization
As gas prices raise, customers are turning to new heat sources like heat pumps and district heating. While changing their heat source is a smart move, there's more they can do to boost energy efficiency. With a small extra investment, homes can achieve significant energy savings and improved comfort.
It’s time to debunk the myth that radiators and heat pumps don’t mix - it all comes down to optimizing the flow. In fact, changing your customers’ heat source to a heat pump is only the first step to ensuring a more efficient heating system. By making sure that the valves provide the optimal water flow through their radiators and by upgrading their radiator thermostats, you can help them improve comfort and lower their energy consumption even further.
Unlocking energy savings
Help your customers make the most of their heating upgrades while reaping the benefits of energy savings and comfort. Check these 3 tips to make heat source change a success.
Learn how to boost condensing boiler efficiency with TRV
See how Danfoss Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs) optimize the efficiency of condensing boilers in radiator heating systems. The efficiency is increased because TRV's lower the return temperature, supporting the condensing boiler to run in condensing mode most of the operation time. TRV's are the simplest and most effective solution for new EU regulations mentioned in the EPBD.

Hydronic Balancing
The significance of hydronic balancing for optimal heating
Heating and cooling our buildings accounts for about 30% of the final energy consumption in the EU, over 70% of which comes from fossil fuels. It requires more than optimization of the heating or cooling system to improve the efficiency. Hydronic balancing of HVAC heating and cooling systems is essential, it is necessary in order to achieve proper indoor comfort and for the system to run as efficiently as possible. If the hydronic balance is not properly in place, end-user complaints, extra costs and reduced lifetime value of the system can be expected.
This paper, “System Balancing for Technical Building Systems: A great opportunity for energy savings and comfort”, published by the European Building Automation Controls Association (eu.bac), explains why it’s important to optimize heating and cooling systems and how this can translate to energy savings.
