"Individual room temperature controls will provide future occupants energy savings and a high comfort level."
Mr.Kerim Akıncı, Mechanical engineer
What do you do when you want to offer apartment owners maximum living space, valuable energy savings and high heating comfort at the same time? The architects and engineers working on the ‘Vadistanbul’ project in Istanbul, agreed that they could meet all requirements by using Danfoss floor heating. Floor heating would save precious space in the development’s small apartments while increasing and reducing energy at the same time. A prestigious project The ‘Vadistanbul’ project is one of Turkey’s most prestigious projects. An new district will be added to the Istanbul metropolis in three stages. In the "first phase, called ‘Vadistanbul Teras’, 1.111 apartments are being constructed in eight buildings. Subsequent phases will see construction of a shopping mall, restaurants, a 5-star hotel and a further 1,200 apartments.
The key to long-term energy savings is the provision of individual temperature control for each room. Heating is provided only when and where it is needed. In addition, floor heating provides such a high level of comfort that the desired temperature can be set 1 or 2 degrees centigrade lower than a comparable radiator heating system. 5% energy is saved for every degree the room temperature is lowered.
To maximize both energy savings and living comfort, the floor heating system is hydronically balanced. Each group in the floor heating system is pre-set to allow only the required !ow to pass through.
Danfoss provided all necessary floor heating products. In addition, the innovative Danfoss floor panels make the installation of FH PE-RT pipes a simple job.
The high-quality FHF-F manifolds with flow meter and pre-setting valves create a well-balanced system. TWA-A actuators will be installed to enable the room thermostats to control the temperature in each room.

Danfoss floor heating manifolds are characterized by their flexibility to establish the best suited manifold solution based on requirements. Select from all the components to construct a manifold with or without pre-setting, flow-meters, shut-off valves and air-vents that best fits your project.
Danfoss floor heating mixing shunts establish a water temperature low enough to safely be distributed through the floor heating system. It’s designed to fit the FH manifolds and mixes the warm supply temperature with colder floor heating return flow to the required floor heating supply temperature.
To ensure hydronic (water based) underfloor heating or cooling systems achieve the expected high level of comfort and low energy consumption, good room temperature controls are essential. They control the room or floor temperature to avoid overheating. For optimal comfort each room has it's own room thermostat.
