AirMaster Case Story Queensferry High School
SAV Systems
The Scottish climate provides school designers with a challenge: to provide good indoor air quality whilst maintaining thermal comfort and good acoustic design.As such, BB101 (Guidelines on ventilation, thermal comfort and indoor air quality in schools) needed to be applied. Concerned about the risk of draught, themechanical consultant Ramboll, undertook a computation fluid dynamics (CFD) study. The CFD found that a mechanical ventilation with heat recovery was theonly solution able to meet all criteria, whilst managing low external temperatures.Results of the CFD in hand, Ramboll, Glasgow selected 1 x AM 300, 3 x AM 500 and 38 x AM 800 units for the project. AirMaster MVHRs can supply tempered fresh air from outside at external temperatures below minus 5°C, having been designed for Nordic climates, with supply temperatures of 17°C plus, without causing draughts. By supplying fresh air only to these classrooms, without recirculation of stale air, the goal of maintaining a CO2 level of less than 1,000 ppm can easily be met.

Case Story - Harvesters Way, Edinburgh
SAV Systems
Harvesters Way had previously been a derelict brownfield site in Wester Hailes, Edinburgh. In 2014 a social housing project led by Places for People began the transformation of this site into a mix of social and private housing with 183 units. It was decided early on to serve all dwellings using a Heat Network, fed from one central plant room. SAV provided the project with two Loadtracker CHP Units and each dwelling has a Danfoss 5 Series Direct Flatstation heat interface unit (HIU) with a built-in ultrasonic energy meter installed.
Case Story Greenside Views, Mitcham, London
SAV Systems
At the Greenside Views development in Mitcham, London, the innovative KURVE platform revolutionized communal heating. Developed by SAV Systems and Insite Energy, KURVE integrates a hard-wired M-Bus network and Kamstrup heat meters to deliver real-time energy data to residents via a web-based app. By eliminating the need for in-home displays (IHDs) and costly hardware upgrades, KURVE reduces capital costs by 60% and slashes replacement expenses by 97% over ten years. Residents can monitor consumption in kilowatt-hours or monetary terms, make instant online payments, and even have accounts managed remotely if needed. This cutting-edge solution has improved energy management and reduced site energy debt by 91% in under three months, offering a cost-effective and user-friendly approach to sustainable heating.

District Heat-as-a-Service
SAV Systems
In 2021, Middelfart District Heating began work on converting the towns of Strib, Røgle and Vejlby from gas to district heating. To make it more attractive and easy for the consumers, the district heating company made it possible to choose a District Heat-as-a-Service (DHaaS) scheme. This means that instead of paying a large lump sum, residents have their new district heating unit delivered, installed and commissioned - paid through a monthly subscription. This subscription option has contributed to a dramatic increase and interest for new sign-ups.

Quayside Extra Care, Totnes - FlatStation Case Story
SAV Systems
Situated in the rolling hills of Devon in the quaint and historic town of Totnes, Quayside Extra Care is a flagship scheme for dementia friendly facilities. The impressive development by the Guinness Partnership emphasises comfort, safety and enjoyment for their residents which is certainly reflected by its many communal facilities. The development, on top of the 60 high quality Extra Care apartments, contains a bistro, a modern café, a landscaped garden, an activity area and a ‘pamper suite’. As a care home, Quayside relies on its heating system to be fully functioning and reliable. Danfoss units ensure this. Being the frontrunner of heat interface unit (HIU) technologies since its inception, Danfoss units could not have been a better choice. Their HIUs are known to last for two decades and their self-acting mechanical valves remain a key differentiator. With the use of Danfoss HIUs, the Quayside heat network provides ‘peace of mind’ for residents and employees alike.
RavenBuildings Manchester Regency Office Building Case Study
SAV Systems
SAV has a modest building portfolio when compared to local authorities and businesses, such as banks and multi-national retail outlets.You would therefore be forgiven for assuming that managing their energy use would be simpler and that there was less energy waste.SAV implemented the myEnergiRaven energy accounting tool across its five offices, collecting the energy consumption data from the utility bills and manually entering this into myEnergiRaven. The energy monitoring platform allowed energy optimisations for SAV's Manchester office.
