Carving a path toward sustainability: Innovative solutions for today and tomorrow

As the world’s environmental challenges escalate, it’s not enough to rely on what’s worked in the past. Rather, we must focus on what can be done differently to embed sustainability across all aspects of our business.

It requires concrete action to turn sustainable aspirations into tangible results. For Bell & Gossett, a Xylem brand, this means a dedication to delivering on energy-efficient strategies that help building owners and developers achieve their decarbonization and net zero goals.

What do these strategies entail?

Building a roadmap to a more sustainable built environment requires system solutions that meet customer, regulatory and market demands. In doing so, we need to adopt a more holistic approach that goes beyond meeting basic technical requirements. A range of factors must be considered, including:  

 ·      Initial capital expense and ongoing operating expense

·      Future-proofed designs

·      Energy and resource efficiency

·      Net zero and decarbonization benefits

·      Regulatory requirements

Leveraging our long history of hydronic system expertise, we are developing solutions that address these expectations and support more sustainable system design. Here are some examples:

High energy efficiency gasketed plate heat exchangers (GPX)

• Bell & Gossett’s new high energy efficiency gasketed plate heat exchangers feature advanced “X” plates, which increase thermal performance by 20% while reducing materials by 15%. This results in a more efficient, compact design that maximizes both initial and operating expenses.

Series e-90E smart pump

• Available with the new Xylem Smart Motor, the Series e-90E Smart Pump offers a more efficient integrated system with pump, motor and variable speed drive all in one. Energy savings and the corresponding greenhouse gas reductions compared to fixed speed pumps are dramatic – up to a 70% improvement.

ecocirc® 20-18

• Bell & Gossett’s powerful variable speed ECM smart circulator is an extremely versatile product that meets a wide range of applications. With optional wireless connectivity, this product delivers dramatically improved energy efficiency and helps optimize precious service resources.

ESP-Systemwize

• The industry’s most robust hydronic product and system selection software, ESP-Systemwize not only makes it easy to develop the most efficient system design, but also provides all complementary documentation in a single platform – helping to reduce both energy and production time. 

Digital asset management solutions

• Xylem’s optimyze™ and Avensor digital asset management solutions feature true remote connectivity and can be paired with virtually any existing pump or product to provide proactive and predictive maintenance.

Modern commercial building challenges require modern solutions. Combining Bell and Gossett’s world-class hydronic products and experience and our extensive network of world class representatives, we aim to create a more sustainable future by addressing the needs of today, as well as those of tomorrow.

Whether it’s the online selection program that helps to more efficiently and responsibly design hydronic systems, or equipment that offers the lowest cost and carbon footprint, we are dedicated to creating innovative, future-proofed solutions.
