Moxy, Marriott International’s newest brand, set out to build a modern hotel in Nashville that reflected the character of nearby university campuses while maintaining high comfort standards. Ensuring superior indoor air quality was a primary design requirement. Engineers selected the FläktGroup SEMCO 3fficiency system to meet these performance and environmental goals.
Key Facts
- Hotel located near Vanderbilt and Belmont University campuses
- 3fficiency system selected, consisting of Pinnacle® DOAS, chilled beams, and Neuton® Pump Module
- Pinnacle® DOAS uses active and passive desiccant wheels
- Pinnacle® removes 99.95% of airborne contaminants
- Juno IQHC and Silencia bulkhead chilled beams installed
- Chilled beams adjust airflow and temperature based on occupancy
- Neuton® pump module enables chilled beam operation at standard chiller temperatures
- 3fficiency system provides energy recovery through True 3Å total energy recovery (TEC) wheel
- System designed to save energy and enhance environmental sustainability
- System supports reduced noise levels due to lack of fan-driven components
Challenge
Build an innovative hotel that provides superior indoor air quality while maintaining stylish design and guest comfort.
Solution
The engineering team, guided by Rome Eddleman & Associates, selected the SEMCO 3fficiency system. The solution incorporated the Pinnacle® DOAS for humidity and contaminant control, chilled beams for comfortable and quiet room conditioning, and the Neuton® pump module to support efficient chilled beam operation.
Results
- Improved indoor air quality, including removal of 99.95% of airborne contaminants
- Precise temperature and humidity control in guest rooms and common spaces
- Quiet operation due to fanless chilled beam technology
- Enhanced sustainability and reduced energy use through integrated energy recovery
- Improved guest comfort and experience
