Project

Location

ORANJESTAD, ARUBA

Project Date

Fiscal Year 2020 (FY2020)

Issue

Obtain the highest Indoor Air Quality and comfort levels in a cinema. Plus minimize the spread of deseases in contained spaces.

Solution

VRV IV + AHU and ITM

THE SOLUTION

Daikin started to support the consulting engineer in the design phase who suggested a chilled water option. By studying the project Daikin and ACC proposed the use of VRV + AHU + Expansion Valve Kits to provide for comfort and fresh air intake in order to recycle indoor air. Thus obtaining higher part-load efficiency, better comfort level and 100% in line with air quality specifications, the consulting engineer approved Daikin’s proposal. Daikin was influential in all phases of the project: design, selection, and even during the “pandemic peak”. Throughout the project technical trainings and presentations were offered to the consulting engineer and the contractor to give them the best possible service.

THE RESULTS

Daikin was not the preferred brand of the consulting engineer, but having demonstrated great knowledge of the need, offering the re-design based on a better solution by supporting the entire team with technical training and presentations, and also local support through the contractor. Resulting in a highly innovative and effective solution that opens the doors to the cinema market. A note from the project engineer Daikin should be recognized not only as the best HVAC company, but as the best HVAC company with the best customer service.

About COVID-19

This project was completed during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic which led us to a sudden shift in the dynamics of our workforce behavior. A lot of companies were bound to rush towards work from home including ours, so we decided to make arrangements in an extremely short period to address the urgency of this project. Ironically, COVID-19 gave us an additional push to make this challenge a well-accomplished project. At Daikin we are convinced that supporting our partners with effort and talent allow us to achieve any goal.
