Need help with heating and cooling solutions for buildings?
Heating and cooling solutions for buildings are becoming increasingly complicated, with an increasing demand for comprehensive expertise in this area. At FVB we understand the entire energy system, from heating and cooling production to point of use by the consumer. That’s why you can feel confident about working with us, whether your goal is to improve the commercial aspects of your scheme, solve operational problems, start a new project, rebuild, or get help complying with existing and new legal requirements. More efficient energy solutions are also better for the environment.
The price model can influence energy and power
Many energy companies have changed their pricing models so that they are based on real-time usage rather than accumulated usage. FVB have experience in managing energy issues based on existing pricing models. To get you the best value out of your energy and power consumption, we can help with:
– feasibility studies
– investigations
– power optimisation
FVB introduced district cooling in Sweden
More and more building owners are demanding cooling. FVB introduced district cooling to Sweden in 1992 and is one of the country’s largest consulting companies in the field. FVB also has extensive knowledge in other cooling solutions such as heat-driven absorption cooling, compressor cooling, and sorption cooling. You can rest assured that we will choose the solution that best suits your needs.
Refrigerants are used to transfer heat and create cooling. For some time now, there has been a phasing out of refrigerants that do not comply with the EU’s revised F-gas directive, and many refrigerants are already banned. With our monitoring of regulations, you can be sure that your refrigerants are among those approved. We can also help with the conversion of existing cooling systems.
A comfortable indoor climate requires a holistic approach
A common problem is that tenants find it too cold indoors in the winter and too hot in the summer – or that the temperature fluctuates. The problems are often not only due to the radiators but also the ventilation system. A holistic approach is required to achieve a heating system with a smooth, even, and comfortable indoor climate. FVB can review and balance the heating system to provide a comfortable environment.

Efficient customer facilities are becoming increasingly important
Do you have district heating and/or district cooling? It’s important that your control unit functions in the best possible way. FVB has worked with district heating for over 50 years and have a detailed understanding of how customer facilities should be built for the best possible performance. FVB UK has the local knowledge and can help you with adapting your customer facility to the actual consumption.
Don’t waste resources
As climate regulation increase and energy prices rise, there are clear incentives to use energy efficiently so that the surplus heat is not wasted. There is also an increased interest in using waste heat from industries.
We survey your energy flows and offer suggestions on how the energy should be used in order to get the most out of it. For example, recycling the heat internally for use in your premises or processes. This can reduce both your need to purchase heat and the total energy consumption. We also investigate whether the heat can be sold to other customers, such as district heating companies that use industrial waste heat in their systems.
