Beyond the operational stage of a building there is a less recognised factor that contributes to the whole life carbon (WLC) of a building – embodied carbon. This article explores what precisely it is, and what FloControl are doing about it.

Germany and the UK are the largest thermostatic radiator valve markets in Europe. A market predicted to grow significantly in the coming years. But did you know, that German system design differs from our approach in the UK?

Politicians and legislators are calling for greater energy efficiency of buildings. With HVAC systems being responsible for a large proportion of a building’s energy use, property owners focus on upgrading the hydronic systems. Smart Valves offer potential to boost heat exchanger efficiency. This article explores considerations when selecting Smart Valves for an application.

FloControl is making the life of specifiers easier! We have joined the collaborative NBS specification platform, featuring FloSets, FlowCon PICVs & ABVs as well as our comprehensive General valve ranges and revit files.

Rangeability and Turndown Ratio complement Valve Authority and have been used traditionally to assist the sizing and selection of pressure dependant control valve products.

We’ve recently been asked to write about control valve authority – a challenge we happily take on! This post aims to clarify what authority is and why it is important for hydronic installations in building services.
