The importance of indoor air quality in hotels
Maintaining good quality air in a hotel will not only help safeguard the health and wellbeing of the building’s occupants but is also good business sense. A comfortable atmosphere is essential to helping guests feel relaxed and enjoy their stay. This can be a challenge for hotels as they often contain many different areas with different air quality needs. Individual rooms, suites, a bar or restaurant, swimming pools, spas, and business centres will all have different requirements for fresh air, temperature, and humidity control. However, given most hotels are open every day of the year and operate 24 hours a day, this can lead to significant energy usage which drives up costs. A DCV (demand controlled ventilation) system installed alongside your air handling unit is the perfect way to maintain optimal control over the many different zones of your building. This will make automatic changes within pre-set parameters based on temperature, occupancy, humidity, and CO2 levels, delivering comfort and wellbeing while saving on energy costs.
