CASE STUDY LUXURY HOTEL, MANCHESTER
Located in one of Manchester's busiest districts, this luxury hotel experiences constant footfall through its entrance, with guests checking in and out throughout the day and evening. The reception and dining area required a quiet, energy-efficient heating and cooling solution to ensure guests enjoyed an ideal dining experience while maintaining a pleasant and welcoming ambience. Aesthetics were equally important. The HVAC solution would be installed without a false ceiling – meaning all components, pipework and ductwork would be clearly visible. Biddle's dedicated specification team worked closely with the client to find the perfect solution to meet both performance and visual requirements.
COMMUNAL AREA HEATING & COOLING
SOLUTION
Biddle specified the ProAir Series 270 range of fan coils, ideal for exposed installations due to their exceptionally low noise levels. Even at full capacity, the units produce just 38dB — quieter than the average library. Internally lined casings and the most energy-efficient EC/DC motors available combine to deliver this performance. Although supplied as standard in galvanised steel, the units were painted to comply with the hotel's strict aesthetic requirements, integrating seamlessly with the surroundings. The fan coils were also supplied with direct digital controls, allowing full integration into the building's BMS via BACnet. Removable G2 wire frame filters ensure clean air output and enable fast, trouble-free cleaning.
Communal spaces including lobbies, meeting rooms, restaurants present a different climate challenge again. Occupancy fluctuates dramatically. One moment empty, the next packed for an or conference. The climate system must respond instantly and efficiently while remaining invisible to the guest experience.
SMART CONTROL AND BMS INTEGRATION Biddle’s Fan Coil Unit range supports full integration with hotel building management systems through a comprehensive range of digital and direct digital control options, compatible with all major BMS protocols. Project-specific controls can be factory-fitted to match the hotel's existing infrastructure, reducing on- site commissioning time and ensuring seamless operation from day one.
OUT AND PROUD THE AESTHETIC CHOICE Where hotel design calls for exposed services – a popular choice in industrial-luxe, boutique and converted properties – Biddle Fan Coil Units are customisable in their styling. Painted finishes are available on request to complement any interior scheme, and UK manufacturing means quick delivery and the option to factory-fit controls and PIC valves, reducing installation time on site.
CONCLUSION The ProAir Series 270 units were expertly installed on the exposed hotel ceilings, delivering ideal heating and cooling levels while maintaining the lowest noise levels.
