In HVRF, the refrigerant only reaches a central distributor and water enters the rooms. As a result, there is less refrigerant in the building. More explanation on the page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homanser.nl\/en\/services\/vrf-hvrf-systems\/\">VRF and HVRF systems<\/a>.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details><summary>Can a heat pump provide a hotel with hot water?<\/summary><div class=\"hm-faq__a\"><p>Yes, provided that the system is designed for peak demand. At The Dylan, the installation is designed for approximately 4,000 liters of hot tap water.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details><summary>Is a cooling ceiling better than an air conditioner?<\/summary><div class=\"hm-faq__a\"><p>A cooling ceiling is quieter and does not cause draughts, but has less cooling capacity per square metre. In case of a high heat load, air conditioning or VRF is often necessary, possibly in combination.<\/p><\/div><\/details><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"hm-sec hm-sec--tint\"><div class=\"hm-wrap\"><h2>Sustainability<\/h2><div class=\"hm-faq\"><details><summary>Can my building be made gas-free without having to shut it down?<\/summary><div class=\"hm-faq__a\"><p>In most cases, yes. We work in phases, by floor or group of rooms. At The Dylan and The Albus, the hotel remained open.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details><summary>What energy label should an office have?<\/summary><div class=\"hm-faq__a\"><p>Office buildings must, as of January 1, 2023, have at least an energy label C, with a few exceptions. A gas-free climate system often helps achieve or improve that label.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details><summary>What if a complete transition is not possible right now?<\/summary><div class=\"hm-faq__a\"><p>Then we create a step-by-step plan.
