Balancing Energy Efficiency and Stability, Prioritizing

Operational Experience
As a key project under management of a major international hotel
chain in China, the developers placed stringent requirements on the
MEP systems: not only must they ensure an exceptional guest
experience, but they must also achieve dual goals—optimization of
lifecycle operational costs and a transition to low-carbon operations.

Given the nature of the hotel industry, the HVAC system must deliver
year-round, uninterrupted consistent temperature control. It must
handle seasonal temperature fluctuations that challenge system
stability, while also intelligently adjusting to the dynamic load
demands of different functional spaces through smart zoning and
regulation—ensuring a consistently comfortable indoor environment
and high-quality water experience for every guest.

At the same time, the hotel management has high expectations for
