How to meet the challenge of limited space
The project required efficient ventilation in the hotel parts of the building as well as in and the residential areas. Ventilation was particularly important on the upper floors as they feature large glased facades which generally let in a considerable amount of heat during sunny days.
Providing air handling units to the limited spaces in this building was a challenge. The air handling units had to be of enough size to be able to meet set requirements in regards to indoor climate, but when the available floor space is limited, bulky is not making installation or future service easy.
