Enhancing ROI Through HVAC System Upgrades in the Hotel Sector
Ageing HVAC systems in hotels can lead to rising maintenance costs, guest discomfort and reduced energy efficiency, especially those still using legacy refrigerants like R407C. This paper explores the financial and operational benefits of upgrading to modern systems, including a model analysis of a 150-room hotel showing potential payback in as little as three years. It also covers the benefits of switching to R32, decarbonising hot water, and using smart controls.
Regulation and Zoning of Heat Networks: An Opportunity or Barrier for the Heat Pump Market?
This paper reviews the new regulatory framework governing heat networks and what it means for heat pump deployment. It outlines current market dynamics, regulatory requirements like the Heat Network Technical Assurance Scheme (HNTAS), and Daikin’s alternative solutions, including VRV systems and our Altherma WS and GEO heat pumps, for properties inside and outside of designated heat network zones.
Delivering Good Indoor Air Quality Through Whole Building Climate Control
Poor indoor air quality can have a serious impact on health and comfort. This paper explores the causes and consequences of indoor air pollution and offers a practical look at how to design, install, and maintain ventilation systems as part of a whole-building climate control strategy. It also highlights filtration, standards, and Daikin’s product offering for energy-efficient, high-comfort environments.
