Grundfos chosen as solution provider for upgradation of AC plant

CII Godrej GBC is India’s first LEED platinum rated building and the very first to be awarded platinum rating outside of the United States.

CII’s Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre (CII Godrej GBC) established in 2004 offers advisory services to Indian industries in the areas of green building, energy efficiency, water management, environmental management, renewable energy, green business incubation, climate change activities.

As a part of continuous improvement, CII Godrej GBC went for upgradation of their air-conditioning plant for which Grundfos was chosen to be the leading solution provider for chilled water pumps. The Solution: Grundfos was faced with a challenge to offer a highly efficient solution on the strictest timeline to the first green building of the country.

As a part of the building improvement project, an additional challenge of providing the entire solution in the existing footprint was encountered. Grundfos iSOLUTIONS with state-ofthe- art CRE pumps were best fit for the application with its intuitive functionalities and IE5 level of motor efficiency.

James – Sales Head (AP & TS) says, “We had to offer our energy-efficient product, at the same time give a longterm solution which is compatible with CII’s future requirement as well.” The Outcome: Srinivas, Principal Advisor to CII – says, “We have been using Grundfos solutions right from the operation of our building and are extremely overwhelmed by its performance for all these years – the main reason for going for Grundfos solution again.”

Post retrofit, Grundfos solutions with a combined wire to water efficiency of 75 percent was able to bring down the energy consumption by almost half. Going forward, CII Godrej GBC is looking at Grundfos as a valuable partner in their Green Building movement of achieving 10 million sq. Feet in the next 2 to 3 years.
