9. 2 PAFMAC: Business Development in North America

Successful Installation of PAFMAC at the Kitano Hotel New York was Our First Overseas Project.

LOCATION: New York, NY 

CUSTOMER: The Kitano Hotel New York

PRODUCT: PAFMAC Ceiling Unit

During the installation of PAFMAC in the Kitano Hotel New York, only the rooms that were being worked on needed to be out of order at any given time. The project began in June 2015 and by May 2016, every guest room in the hotel had been completed.

"I was very excited that someone was offering a system that was so much better than the 4-Pipe solution. It was cheaper, required less downtime, fewer permits, and was easier to install."

"We installed the system in several rooms to see how it would work. I found out how easy it was to install. The scope of work and time required for installation were the most important aspect for us. We were thrilled that we could complete the installation in only one day!"
(Zack Zahran, General Manager of the Kitano Hotel)

Results

Guest complaints about room temperature disappeared.

Annual energy costs dropped by 18%.

The repairs were completed with minimal downtime.

“We were really surprised at how well the system works and how easy it was to install. The comfort of our guests is always paramount and the ability for each room to control its own heating and cooling is a significant upgrade on the quality of service we provide.”

(Zack Zahran, General Manager of the Kitano Hotel)

We headed to New York to participate in the HX “The Hotel Experience” at the JAVITS CONVENTION CENTER from November 8^th to 10^th, when the PAFMAC installation was about 40% completed at the Kitano Hotel New York, and prior to the event, we held a press conference at the hotel on November 4^th. Hotel owners, consultants and the press were invited to attend and had the opportunity to visit the actual rooms with PAFMAC installed.

The press conference and the HX “The Hotel Experience” exhibit both experienced large turnout.
