Lodging/Hotel Panasonic Ventilation Fans
Why ventilate a hotel room? Many of today s newly constructed and renovated hotels are designed to meet LEED and other energy efficient building standards. These standards promote environmental sustainability while reducing energy consumption and costs. They also improve guest comfort and satisfaction while projecting a healthy, green image that can translate into a competitive advantage. Energy efficiency standards begin with an airtight building envelop. This is achieved with specially designed windows and doors, sealing caulks and other insulation materials that create an airtight seal. The resulting benefits are fewer drafts, lower cost of heating and cooling and greater comfort and satisfaction for the guest. However, biological and chemical pollutants can accumulate in an airtight building. These pollutants can be hazardous to the guest and jeopardize the structural integrity of the building. Moisture from showers promotes mold and mildew that damage bathroom fixtures and the building s structural integrity is at risk if mold grows inside wall and ceiling cavities. Also, chemicals known as volatile organic compounds (VOC), such as formaldehyde and benzene, are released from building materials, wall paper, carpeting, furniture, cleaners and other guest room items in a process called off-gassing. When accumulated over time, VOC s can create a toxic indoor air environment for the hotel guest. That s why Panasonic emphasizes a build tight and ventilate right platform. Proper mechanical ventilation can address moisture damage and indoor air quality, while being energy efficient. Guest s Experience Providing guest comfort and satisfaction is essential for repeat business. Panasonic ventilating fans help maintain indoor air quality and protect bathroom fixtures from unsightly signs of mold and mildew. Plus, Panasonic s super-quiet operation is ideal for a relaxing room or spa experience enticing the guest to come back again and again. Architect, Designer and Contractor Experience Panasonic s wide range of products and features ensures that indoor air quality is being addressed with reliable, quiet ventilating fans that control cost and enhance guest satisfaction. With a variety of 50 380 CFM fans, built-in controls, light fixtures, radiation (fire) dampers, decorative and metal grilles, Panasonic offers many LEED compliant solutions for lodging designs. Owner s Experience Protecting property investments, controlling cost and achieving high guest satisfaction that leads to repeat business are all central to property owners. Panasonic addresses these concerns with quiet, reliable and effective ventilation designed to mitigate moisture that can cause mold and mildew on bathroom fixtures and in ceiling and wall cavities. They also provide energy efficient indoor air quality and enhance the guest experience with quiet operation and comfort features like motion sensor operation, quality lighting and a safety night-light.
LEED Certification What does Green certification mean and how can Panasonic help? LEED for Homes, STAR Indoor Air Programs, and other green building programs require compliance with the American Society of Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Residential Ventilation Standard as a ventilation platform. According to LEED 2009 for Commercial Interiors Rating System: PATH 2 (10 points) Demonstrate that HVAC system components performance criteria used for tenant space are 30% better than a system that is in minimum compliance with ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2007. Additionally, the project teams wish to use ASHRAE approved addenda for the purpose of this credit may do so at their discretion. Addenda must be applied consistently across all LEED credits. A complete description can be found at: http://www. usgbc.org/showfile.aspx?documentid=5543 Page 19 ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2007 is suitable for hotel room IAQ ventilation. This standard calls for 5 CFM per person plus 0.06 CFM per square foot. It also sets minimum default of 11 CFM. Additionally, ASHRAE 62.1 calls for spot ventilation for the bathroom using 25 CFM continuous or 50 CFM intermittent. Example: Both IAQ and spot ventilation requirements can be met with a Panasonic FV-08VKM2 (fan only) or FV-08VKML2 (fan/light) Units under 250 square feet: 30 cfm continuous Units 250 to 360 square feet: 40 cfm continuous Units 360 to 450 square feet: 50 cfm continuous Units over 450 square feet: 60 cfm continuous Room Size Area sq. ft.
