hen the owners of a successful restaurant in Sønderborg, Denmark, recently decided to build an entirely new hotel adjacent to the restaurant, they turned to Denmark’s OJ Electronics for a system to manage the heating and ventilation in the rooms, ensuring that guests get exactly the comfort they need – and that the hotel itself enjoys greatly reduced energy consumption. Thomas Grosen, project manager for all ventilation aspects of Hotel Bella Italia, first suggested that OJ Electronic’s new GreenZone™ system should control the indoor climate of the hotel’s individual rooms. GreenZone™ is a sophisticated VAV (Variable Air Volume) zone control system capable of handling different temperature and comfort settings in up to 125 separate zones per AHU (Air Handling Unit) – while also saving plenty of energy in day-to-day operations. Thomas says: “What we wanted to do at Bella Italia was to create a system that is intelligent, and which saves energy. The intelligent aspects are obvious from the fact that you can access full information about the system and its performance at any time.” 54 Industry Europe
