Armstrong Fluid Technology Highlights 'Intelligent Design and Energy-Efficient Technology' at BEX Asia 2026

SINGAPORE , Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Armstrong Fluid Technology , a global leader in intelligent, energy-saving fluid-flow and whole-building mechanical solutions, is showcasing its latest HVAC solutions for the Asia-Pacific building sector at BEX Asia, the region's leading green building and sustainability exhibition, this week at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. This year's booth experience centers on a clear, customer-driven theme: intelligent design and energy-efficient technology. Visitors can explore Armstrong solutions at the Canada National Pavilion throughout the show.

As buildings across Asia face increasing performance, efficiency, and decarbonization demands, Armstrong is demonstrating how intelligent design and system-level optimization empower architects, consulting engineers, contractors, and specifiers to deliver more efficient, better-performing HVAC systems.

Integrated Designer, a powerful capability within Armstrong's ADEPT selection tool, anchors the Intelligent Design experience, simplifying the selection and sizing of systems and related equipment from a single interface. Visitors will see how integrated selection and system design in one workflow, real-time system performance estimates, and one-click export of equipment schedules and submittal packages reduce manual calculations and support faster, more confident decisions.

Design Envelope Permanent Magnet (DEPM) IVS4380 pumps, Armstrong's system-level optimization technology, anchors the Energy-Efficient Technology experience. HVAC systems spend roughly 90 percent of their operating hours at part load, yet many buildings are still designed around peak-demand assumptions. Design Envelope optimizes entire systems rather than individual components, using sensorless parallel pumping to keep equipment within its preferred operating region as demand shifts through the day. Performance Envelopes with best-efficiency staging versus traditional duty-standby configurations show how redundancy can be right-sized to each building — aligned with ASHRAE guidance, from around 70 percent for typical commercial buildings to up to 100 percent for mission-critical facilities such as data centres. A 3D-printed model of the Design Envelope 4300 will bring the technology to life at the booth.

"Buildings don't run at full load, and systems for them shouldn't be designed as if they do," said Ashok Joshi, Managing Director, India & APAC, Armstrong Fluid Technology.
