Taken from an article published in the Japanese weekly magazine, “HOTERES”. Richmond Hotel Tokyo Mejiro Hotel type: Business Hotel Guest rooms: 145 rooms Guest room renovation Air conditioning was our main focus when renovating. Our hotel had a conventional two-pipe fan coil system using cold and hot water, so before the renovation, we had always received many complaints about the room being too hot or too cold during spring and autumn seasons The hotel's storage room was full because it had piles of heating appliances and fans that we lent out to our guests upon request. We were searching for a cooling and heating system that could be interchanged individually in each room while using our existing 2 pipe fan coil system. We were introduced to PAFMAC by an air conditioning consultant. Our hotel converted from 2-pipe fan coil system to PAFMAC.

KEIO PLAZA HOTEL Hotel types: Luxury hotel Guest rooms: 1,435 rooms Guest room renovation For us, it was difficult to manage air conditioning to provide comfort during the in-between months, which are mid-March to end of May, and from beginning of November to mid-December. This is because if we are sending cold water to the two-pipe system, we cannot respond individually to rooms requesting heating, such as "I want to turn on the heater in my room because I am catching a cold". In the past, we lent out blankets and heating appliances when customers were too cold. And on the other hand, we lent out fans when it was too hot. On large volume days, we received more than 20 requests from our customers for these appliances. We tested PAFMAC in 4 rooms the year before the full installation and we
