How the TA Nano Valve Supports Environmental Responsibility

The Challenge: HVAC’s Role in Environmental Impact

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems account for a significant portion of energy usage in buildings — up to 40% in some commercial facilities, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Poor system balancing, outdated components, and inefficient design contribute to excessive energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and long-term environmental strain.

Moreover, in traditional systems, inaccurate flow control often leads to over-pumping and temperature inconsistencies, wasting both water and energy. Facilities pursuing LEED or BREEAM certification need high-performance hydronic components that directly support operational efficiency and carbon reduction targets.

TA Nano: Designed for Sustainable System Performance

The TA Nano valve was developed to respond to these needs — not just as a high-performance control solution, but as a driver of environmental responsibility. Its compact, pressure-independent design helps facilities reduce both immediate and long-term environmental footprints.

Compact Design, Lower Material Impact

Sustainability starts with materials. The TA Nano’s ultra-compact construction uses less raw material than traditional valves, reducing environmental impact from production to transportation. Its small size also allows for more space-efficient mechanical rooms, supporting modern building trends focused on minimalism and functionality.

Precision Control = Less Energy Waste

TA Nano maintains consistent, pressure-independent flow across a wide range of conditions. This ensures that pumps aren’t overcompensating for pressure drops, which is a common cause of energy inefficiency in unbalanced systems.

By maintaining stable flow rates even at low load, TA Nano enables systems to operate closer to their design intent. This reduces the energy required for heating and cooling, translating to lower carbon emissions over time.

• Maintains accuracy even at 10% of nominal flow
• Supports efficient pump operation under variable load conditions
• Prevents system oversizing and flow imbalance

Tested for Longevity

A key component of sustainability is product durability. The TA Nano has been tested beyond 150,000 cycles, ensuring consistent performance with minimal maintenance over time. This reduces the need for premature replacements, which lowers both lifecycle emissions and material waste.

Supports Predictive Maintenance and Operational Transparency

TA Nano is compatible with digital tools such as the IMI HyTools app, enabling quick system adjustments and diagnostics. Combined with its flushability and dirt-resistant design, the valve helps teams proactively manage efficiency without relying on reactive interventions — reducing water waste and operational overhead.

Real-World Applications: Where Sustainability Meets Performance

TA Nano is ideal for buildings where sustainability is a design priority:

• Universities and schools: Reduce energy consumption across sprawling campuses with multiple flow zones.
• Hospitals and healthcare: Maintain precise indoor temperatures while minimizing water and energy waste.
• Commercial offices: Improve indoor comfort while aligning with tenant sustainability expectations.

Each application supports broader ESG strategies while ensuring that building systems remain scalable and future-ready.

Aligning with Global ESG and Decarbonization Goals

TA Nano is more than a product — it’s part of a philosophy. As a company listed in the FTSE4Good Index, IMI Climate Control is recognized for meeting high environmental, social, and governance standards.

TA Nano reflects this commitment in tangible ways:

• Supports low-carbon design requirements outlined by regulatory bodies across the U.S. and Europe
• Enables energy savings aligned with ASHRAE Standard 90.1 and other efficiency benchmarks
• Helps meet criteria for green building certification and sustainability reporting

By equipping your system with TA Nano, you’re not just optimizing flow — you’re advancing climate-conscious infrastructure.
