High-rise Buildings

Whether a hotel, office building or shopping centre, Wilo guarantees optimal water supply and disposal – not to mention the perfect room temperature – across different building types by using a variety of innovative pumps and connective system solutions.

If the heating system in a high rise building experiences a fault or a breakdown, the resulting low temperature considerably reduces comfort levels for the residents. The feel-good climate needs to be restored immediately – and that increases the pressure on the installer, who has to react quickly and flexibly to satisfy the end-user and the facility manager. For this reason, pumps used in heating, cooling and air-conditioning systems need to offer maximum reliability, as well as dependable energy-saving operation.

On top of that, fire protection regulations differ from country to country and are being constantly tightened. One of the major challenges is that extinguishing systems that meet the high demands on their performance often also require a significant amount of space. This can considerably reduce cost-effectiveness in buildings with intensive space usage. Nevertheless, human lives are at stake, and conformity with the strict requirements of the generally accepted rules of engineering applicable in Germany and the EU with regard to construction and installation must be verified.

Additionally, air-conditioning systems run at full blast. The hard work they perform goes unnoticed during normal operation. However, a fault – or worse still, a breakdown – immediately impacts the residents’ comfort. The difficulties experienced by the residents are ultimately transferred to the installers who are required to eliminate the problem without delay. Extremely reliable solutions which avoid these situations in the first place are therefore required.

Central Bank

Green Building Approach.

Green Wilo pumps contribute to the overall efficiency of the new headquarters - from heating and cooling to cold water supply and products for rainwater harvesting. Central Bank campus is a green building, certified by BREEAM, the world’s leading sustainability assessment method. The bank itself had set a number of objectives when it came to the sustainability of the building – one of our main requirements was to only provide high-efficient pumps with efficiency class IE4 to ensure compliance with BREEAM criteria. Central Bank set a number of objectives for the design of the building: e.g. to ensure the environmental sustainability.

Alvaer Tower

235 metres of Construction excellence.

With 235 metres, Alvear Tower is the highest residential tower in Argentina and the most relevant development in the City of Buenos Aires. The mixed-use development complex contains several condominiums as well as a five-star hotel. One of the main challenges was, due to the height of the building, how the water would be pumped without recurring to really high-pressure booster sets. It was solved by using intermediate break tanks at different stages from where the boosters will be supplying to several floors. The water is lifted to those break tanks through multistage vertical pumps.
