Hospitality
Guest-room and public-area systems for hotels — quiet in-room units, balanced corridor ventilation, and controls guests can operate without a service call.
What decides the design
- Guest-room noise is a design constraint: fan and refrigerant noise at night, and any equipment mounted on the wall or in a closet beside the bed, drives the indoor-unit choice.
- Occupancy is intermittent and often unknown — rooms stand empty for hours and are then fully occupied, so setback behaviour and recovery matter more than steady-state capacity.
- Guests expect to control their own room while the operator wants one point of oversight; the control architecture has to serve both without a service call.
- Public areas — lobby, restaurant, meeting rooms and pool spaces — carry high ventilation loads and their own humidity requirements, separate from the guest-room floors.
Recommended system combination
These families are selected together, not individually — the match between them is what makes the system work.
Concealed Ducted Units
air conditioning
In-ceiling guest-room units, keeping the operating equipment out of the room and away from the bedhead wall.
Concealed ducted indoor units for ceiling-void installation.
Side-Discharge Outdoor Units
air conditioning
Outdoor unit serving the guest-room indoor units, 1.5–5 ton with 24V control, including field replacement of existing condensing units.
SEER2 18 inverter side-discharge condensing units, 1.5–5 ton, designed to pair with A-Coils, AHUs and field replacement of existing condensers.
ERV / HRV — AspireVent Series
ventilation
Guest-room or floor-cluster ventilation at 100 or 150 CFM, wall-mounted or suspended, with auto-balancing.
Heat and energy recovery ventilators, 100 / 150 CFM, side or top port, with ECM motors and a washable recovery core.
Rooftop Package Units
commercial equipment
Public-area and corridor make-up air or DOAS duty on the customised rooftop platform, with energy recovery and hot gas reheat options where humidity has to be controlled.
Rooftop package units from 3 to 30 ton, with deep customisation up to 50–100 ton including DOAS and make-up air.
Smart Wi-Fi Thermostat — AFT533D
smart controls
In-room 24V thermostat with occupancy, temperature and humidity sensing, a 7-day schedule and native HRV/ERV control.
A 24V Wi-Fi thermostat with native HRV / ERV control, dual-fuel support and humidity management — designed for Canadian homes and cold-climate performance.
Selection points
- 01
Confirm the indoor-unit type against the ceiling detail: concealed ducted units suit a continuous corridor or bulkhead ceiling, four-way cassettes need a clear ceiling void and suit suites and open public areas.
- 02
Handle public-area humidity separately from temperature. Hot gas reheat, energy recovery and higher MERV filtration are selected on the rooftop platform at order and change the unit configuration.
- 03
Where the room thermostat also controls ventilation, state that at design stage. The AFT533D drives an HRV or ERV in OFF, ON or AUTO modes, with an outdoor-temperature ventilation lockout and a humidity frost-protection function.
- 04
Ask for occupancy and humidity sensing in the room specification — the on-board sensors support setback while a room is empty without a separate occupancy system.
- 05
For phased renovation floors, confirm that indoor units can be replaced in stages and verify the 24V control compatibility of any controllers already on site.
- 06
Match the ventilation airflow per room to the 100 or 150 CFM models before ordering, and choose wall-mounted or suspended installation at the same time; both are supported with an installation kit.
