The Beginning and Evolution: PAFMAC Story Part 7

The Beginning and Evolution: PAFMAC Story




5.      Integration of PFMAC system at other hotels

  Upon directly approaching other high potential hotels even after successful installation of PAMAC system in ANA INTERCONTINENTAL-TOKYO (formally known as ANA Hotel Tokyo), some people were skeptical, saying, “Is that really possible?”

However, upon actually taking the candidate hotel members to ANA Hotel for a tour of their guest rooms, the skeptics expressed great surprise when they discovered a system that they only thought was possible in a dream.

　The person in charge of the AC engineering at ANA Hotel Tokyo wrote an article in an academic journal for building service engineers, and as a result, many people in the building equipment industry became aware of PAFMAC system. We began to receiving an overwhelming number of inquiries from the building system engineers after the publication, so we had them introduce us hotels with high number of AC complaints, and in turn, we gave a tour of hotels with PAFMAC system in operation.

 In some of the hotels, we received full volume orders after partial testing in few rooms. Also, after a particular hotel decided to integrate our system, many hotels within their group followed and installed PAFMAC.

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. When trouble occurs in any room, the hotel does not have to stop operating any other room, since PAFMAC works independe

Recent PAFMAC Reviews in Japan Part 2 Taken from an article published in the Japanese weekly magazine, “ HOTERES”.   NIPPON SEINENKAN HOTEL Hotel types: City Hotel Guest rooms: 220 rooms New construction     Our previous building was also a two-pipe air conditioning system and it had to be centrally controlled and locked in either cooling or heating mode, and it would take a full day to switch from one to the other mode. Therefore, we were always concerned about the weather every day during the changing of the seasons to determine when to switch from cooling mode to the heating or vice versa. Given this experience, it was critical for us to have a de-centralized all-year-round cooling and heating system, so we had requested it directly to an architectural firm. The ability to switch between cooling and heating anytime throughout the year and to have the flexibility to do it individually in each room. However, if we

Recent PAFMAC Reviews in Japan Part 1 Taken from an article published in the Japanese weekly magazine, “ HOTERES”. 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
