**HVAC** systems for **hotels** are required to create the best possible **comfort for guests** with** reliable and efficient technologies.**
For **hotel owners**, the priority is **customer experience** as it is synonymous of **hospitality.** It is no surprise that customer experience is a defining characteristic of this business. **Customer experience** is what the **hospitality industry** is all about.
#### Choose the right HVAC system for a comfortable hotel stay
Nowadays consumers have a multitude of choice when it comes to selecting a vacation or a business stay. Consumers look at **what the accommodation will includes** and how **comfortable** they will feel. For this reason, **hotels must provide a memorable impression** for guests and they must **stand out** so that** guests choose their option first** and then **come back again and again.**
**HVAC systems** are a hugely** important component** within hotels that contribute to **customers’ comfort expectations**. Every aspect of the hotel is important to create the **perfect sense of comfort** which will help in making the **customer experience memorable.** **HVAC** systems, though, can also have a significant impact on **buildings operating costs** and on **profits.** For this reason, we want to highlight five aspects to consider when designing a **HVAC system for a hotel.**
Are you working on a **HVAC project for the hospitality sector**? Get our experts’ support [here](https://www.daikinapplied.uk/contact_us/).
#### 1 – Hot sanitary water
**Cooling is essential in creating comfort** for every guest, but **hot sanitary water** is also required. A **chiller can offer total heat recovery,** which is a **perfect solution** to produce **hot sanitary water whilst drastically reducing energy consumption.**
In fact, the requirement for** comfort cooling in a hotel throughout the year** can be used to **produce hot sanitary water** as well. This is possible thanks to the **total heat recovery** option. For instance, a hotel hosting events or operating with a significant number of business guests using conference rooms and meeting rooms. The mentioned examples can require **cooling in every season, even in winter**. This allows the use of** total heat recovery to produce hot sanitary water all year round**, clearly making the most of the** heat recovery process during the summer**, whilst **benefiting** from it during **the rest of the year.**
Check our [product finder](https://www.daikinapplied.uk/product-finder/) to learn more about our products featuring the total **heat recovery option**.
#### 2 – Low noise
To ensure guests have the **best possible experience**, **low noise** is **crucial** when **designing an HVAC system for a hotel.** **Less noise** produced by the **HVAC system** means a more **comfortable and enjoyable stay for the guests**. In this case, it is helpful to have the possibility to** further reduce the default noise threshold by setting time bands.**
**The Daikin Applied UK TZ range** offers such a solution. In addition to offering **very low noise values**, the **EWAD – TZ **and the **EWAH – TZ**, can also allow **facility managers to set the unit noise level to a minimum during specific time bands**. Click [here](https://www.daikinapplied.uk/technologies/air-cooled-chillers/) to view our **chiller range**.
#### 3 – Building load variation
**Hotels’ load** typically **varies depending** on the **season** or due to **specific functions**. That has a significant** impact on the energy efficiency** of the building. It is therefore important to ensure** variation in load demand** of the building is considered. For a more efficient **HVAC system,** it might be useful to **split the load across multiple units of different sizes** and **control them as though they are one large single unit**.
[Daikin (iCM)](https://www.daikinapplied.uk/products/icm-intelligent-chiller-manager/), is designed to **control, sequence and optimise** the **performance of multiple chillers**, is the perfect solution for this type of **HVAC systems.** The **iCM** harmonises the way every single **chiller in the plant operates**. It allows them to **reach their goal** **with minimum effort,** both in terms of **energy consumption and mechanically**. This will **positively impact the chillers durability and efficiency.**
#### 4 – Water flow variation
To make the **HVAC system** more **efficient**, it is important to make sure it can vary the **water flow** depending on the **actual load demand** of building, making **pumps more efficient**. A **Variable Water Flow system** is the perfect solution to this specific requirement. It** modulates the quantity of water** flowing through the system, ensuring that pumps work as **efficiently as possible**, thus** reducing their impact on energy consumption.**
#### 5 – Monitoring units’ operations
Monitoring the **units’ performance** is vital in **reducing costs** and **ensuring energy efficiency** of the **HVAC system**. This allows the** implementation of efficiency strategies** based on the **observation of real data**, as well as allowing access to tax incentives. For this purpose, **Daikin Applied UK** has recently introduced for its **TZ range** with **monitoring options**. This allows constant** monitoring of units’ performance** in terms of **energy consumption and collecting useful data.**
**Reliability** of the **HVAC equipmen**t is a primary concern for **hotels and resorts** as it can have a** huge impact on customer experience**. To make **maintenance planning** easier and **more effective, Daikin Applied UK offers a remote monitoring service **[Daikin On Site (DoS)](https://www.daikinapplied.uk/products/dos-daikin-on-site/), which allows the **monitoring and collecting of operational data and schedule maintenance activities**, this helps to **avoid the units’ downtime.**
