1) Why SAV Standard was established
The current market still faces issues such as material reduction and improper system implementation, leading to inefficient underfloor heating performance.
SAV Standard was developed to establish a transparent technical reference framework for design, material selection, installation, and system operation.
2) What is SAV Standard
SAV Standard is an internal technical standard system developed by SAV, based on international standards and adapted to real conditions in Vietnam.
- Standardizing the understanding of hydronic underfloor heating systems.
- Standardizing design – installation – operation processes.
- Reducing technical risks and increasing system lifespan.
Detailed technical requirements are presented in the SAV Standard documentation.
3) Professional foundation
Engineer Dang Nguyen Mai is the founder of SAV Standard and SAV | Smart Heating Vietnam, the organization implementing hydronic underfloor heating systems under SAV Standard.
He has extensive experience in water, thermal, and energy systems, and has contributed to the development of domestic water research centers.
