Enhanced experience for hotel guests, with reduced cost

Creating a pleasant Indoor Air Climate is perhaps more important in Hotels than in any other building application. Guests generally enjoy a wide choice of hotel options and malodours or a sense of stale air are often cited by past guests as a reason for not returning.

Fläkt Woods has the benefit of many years of experience, delivering optimised solutions to hotel projects of all standards across the world. With a list of references extending across Europe, the USA, the Middle East, Far East and Australia, the Group has a wide portfolio of solutions specifically designed for discerning hotel Designers, Operators and Owners. Previous customers have included Hilton, Hyatt, Le Meridien, Radisson and Sheraton. For any type of hotel, large or small, Fläkt Woods has the optimum solution, balancing the sometimes conflicting issues of costs, energy, legislation and maintenance.


Optimised solutions designed to meet the challenging requirements of today’s hotel market include:

Air Handling Units
A wide range of low-noise AHU’s with fully integrated controls, able to efficiently respond to the constant, 24-hour operation and varying demands of a modern, vibrant hotel. A choice of energy recovery systems, with the option of humidity control, provide a range of high quality, cost-effective solutions.

Fan Coil Units
A room-mounted Fan Coil Unit is often the most significant noise source in a modern hotel. The Fläkt Woods QZT range of Fan Coils Units incorporates an exclusive tangential fan to provide a smooth, continuous and near-silent airflow, adding considerably to the guests’ overall experience and perception of hotel quality. Low profile units are also available to accommodate minimised ceiling voids.

Scenting Systems
In a crowded market with ever-more discerning customers, hotel chains are constantly seeking new ways to differentiate their offering. In a unique alliance with one of the world’s leading designers of Scent, Fläkt Woods is able to provide scenting systems fully integrated into the HVAC. Enchanting scents, selected from an extensive library or developed to the specific requirements of the client, can be delivered in a safe, controlled and unobtrusive way, providing an enhanced ambience and sense of sophistication.

Car Park Ventilation Systems
City Centre hotels increasingly rely upon underground parking options. As one of the leading manufacturers of Axial Jet Fans in the world, Fläkt Woods is able to provide complete turn-key systems for ventilation, pollution control and fire safety, providing a safe and healthy environment for hotel guests whilst generating minimal running costs. Low-profile fan technology minimises the space occupied by the ventilation system, reducing excavation and construction costs and providing opportunities for additional parking capacity.

With no opportunity to align planned maintenance with scheduled factory shutdowns and office holidays, hotel operators need products that work first time, every time, with minimal maintenance. All of our products are manufactured with maintenance in mind. This includes having access doors in all of our air terminal devices, diagnostic controls on our chillers and the smooth internal walls and floors in our air handling units. Innovations such as flat drive belts, that are designed to run longer before requiring adjustment, minimise the disruption to a hotel’s 24-hour operation.

 

In a typical new-build hotel project, the initial capital investment will represent only 15% of the lifetime cost of the building. Of far greater importance is energy consumption, which typically accounts for a massive 80% of the total running cost for the building. Effective heat recovery, highly efficient fans and innovations such as Free-Cooling Chillers provide substantial opportunities for cost savings.

Unlike most suppliers of HVAC systems, Fläkt Woods manufactures the majority of key sub systems in-house, including thermal wheels, fans and structural assemblies. By selecting an integrated Fläkt Woods System, you can be sure that the combination of components will have been optimised for maximum overall efficiency. By taking a holistic view, substantial savings in capital and running costs can be achieved.
