High efficiency hvac Production Systems Production systems details:

The whole hotel is served by a hydronic system based on 2 Integra water source heat pumps.

Their efficiency allows to reduce ground water consumption, with reduced environmental impact and further energy saving due to reduced pumping flows.

The advanced concept of Integra units allows them to produce heating and cooling, also simultaneously, with one single unit.

The system is based on variable flow pumps, pumps adapting to the real thermal load of the building, further reducing this major energy consumption factor.

In case of simultaneous request for heating and cooling, the lower request is performed for free.
