Background
Diffusion has supplied more than five hundred Ambassador Air Conditioning Units to the progressive City Inn Hotel. The Westminster hotel, the fourth in an expanding network that includes Glasgow, Birmingham and Bristol, is one of very few entirely new build hotels to be built in the heart of Westminster within close walking distance of the Houses of Parliament. Faber Maunsell acted as the Mechanical and Electrical design consultant with Bennett’s Associates responsible for the architectural design.
The patented Diffusion Ambassador Hotel system with Systemteq customised digital controls is a single integrated slot-in intelligent heating, air conditioning and reporting unit that allows hotels to plan maintenance around the room occupancy and more importantly allows the room temperature, controls and possible alarms to be viewed remotely, saving time, money and resources.
The Diffusion Ambassador unit is manufactured and pre-commissioned off-site and can be installed and running within a few hours, compared with days for traditional systems.
The Ambassador units for the City Inn Hotel were supplied with fast response, user-friendly, wali-mounted control plates, giving guests the ability to control their own environment. The units are unobtrusive and can be easily fitted within a normal hotel bedroom lobby.
Advantages of Airside are:
- Instantaneous Cooling / Heating
- More accurate temperature control
- Easy to commission
- Easy to maintain
