Aermec Adaptability

This historic hotel built in 1908 is situated in the heart of the Arts & Entertainment district of downtown Vancouver. The hotel consists of 57 rooms that hold modern as well as contemporary interior design. Hotel guests can wine and dine at the Uva Wine Bar and Cibo Trattoria which are both situated in the lobby. When the hotel needed a more efficient way of heating and cooling, they chose Aermec for the solution. With 15 tons of cooling as the building requirement, the following are the products installed:

1.1 Aermec AN 807HA heat pump-5 ton cooling
2.1 Aermec 1507HA heat pump-10 ton cooling
3.60 Aermec FCX 32 US 3 speed cabinet style fan coils
4.4 Aermec FCX 32 USP 3 speed fan coils without cabinet to allow ducting
5.64 Aermec RX electric heaters 980 watts (installed on site by others)
One of the benefit’s Aermec was able to offer was the ability to operate the units as heat pumps with a boiler for backup providing a complete heating system. Each suite has its own fan coil with wireless thermostat which also connects wirelessly to the reservation bridge of the main lobby. The benefits of this wireless system are that rooms not occupied by guests will not be heated or cooled, thus saving energy.
