Over the course of three days, the event brought together hospitality leaders, engineers, culinary experts, and design enthusiasts to spotlight the latest advancements and address the most pressing challenges prevailing within the hospitality industry.
As part of the company’s associate sponsorship of The Hotel Show, Lorenzo Cipriani, Regional Consulting Sales Manager at Daikin Middle East and Africa presented a keynote session at The Hospitality Engineers Middle East Annual Conference under the theme of Net-Zero Hospitality on the topic of ‘Going Green with Chillers and Heat Pumps as upcoming methods of Hot Water Production.’ During the session, Lorenzo explored the various methods and technologies of producing hot water for the hospitality industry while emphasizing the significance of reducing direct and indirect emissions. He then went on to discuss the process of heating water through the use of refrigerant cycle machines while demonstrating the benefits of heat pumps over conventional electric water heaters and boilers.
Commending Dubai’s Carbon Abatement Strategy 2030, Lorenzo further explained that systems such as heat pumps and chillers efficiently use electricity as a low carbon solution to reduce carbon emissions. Commenting on the keynote session, Lorenzo said, “The hospitality industry has a high demand for hot water. Depending on capacity, guest rooms, swimming pools, and restaurants require considerable amounts of water, thus finding innovative methods of heating water is vital for the industry as it transitions towards a more sustainable future. Designed to ensure efficiency and optimise energy consumption, heat pumps provide more sustainable ways to produce hot water and can further support hotels in taking one step closer to their sustainability agendas.” The session was concluded by providing a summary of Daikin’s innovative water heating solutions for various applications and a case study of a 5-star hotel luxury hotel in Dubai was presented to showcase the results of Daikin's solutions.
