Hotels and HVAC: How to Ensure Perfect Comfort for Every Guest While Saving Energy

Delivering an unforgettable experience to every guest is at the heart of any hotel’s mission. In this context, thermal comfort plays a fundamental role. Whether it’s a luxury hotel in downtown Montreal, a boutique hotel on the South Shore, or a resort on the North Shore, choosing a high-performance commercial HVAC system is essential. At AirGreen, we support hoteliers at every step in designing, installing, and maintaining custom heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems that combine energy efficiency, premium comfort, and long-term reliability.

Why air quality and temperature are critical in a hotel setting

In an industry where every detail matters, a faulty HVAC system can lead to customer complaints, negative reviews, and ultimately damage the hotel’s reputation. On the other hand, a quiet, high-performance system enhances guest well-being, sleep quality, and leads to a positive customer experience. The stakes are high:

  • Consistent and even temperature in all rooms.

  • Humidity control to prevent mold and discomfort.

  • Filtered, fresh air for improved indoor air quality.

  • Quiet operation to avoid disturbing guests’ rest.

Our commercial HVAC solutions meet all these requirements, even in older buildings or those with complex architecture.

Case study: HVAC installation in a hotel in Laval

As part of a project completed for a 4-star hotel located in Laval, we carried out a complete overhaul of the existing HVAC system. The establishment was receiving frequent complaints about unstable temperatures and excessive noise from the aging system. After a thorough energy audit, our team recommended the installation of a Bosch BOVA 60K BTU variable-speed system, paired with a network of smart thermostats in each room.

Challenges encountered:

  • Maintaining hotel operations during the work.

  • Limited access to technical zones on upper floors.

  • Inadequate insulation in certain sections.

AirGreen’s solutions:

  • Nighttime installation to minimize disturbances.

  • Use of high-efficiency flexible ducts to adapt to architectural constraints.

  • Integration of a centralized control system for optimized energy management.

The result: a 37% reduction in annual energy consumption and a significant increase in guest satisfaction in the months following the installation.

AirGreen’s expertise serving hotels in Montreal, Longueuil, North Shore and South Shore

Our team of experts offers tailor-made solutions based on the type of establishment, its capacity, expected comfort level, and structural limitations. We specialize in the integration of multi-zone systems, VRF (variable refrigerant flow) technology, and geothermal systems, ensuring optimal performance and a low carbon footprint.

Types of HVAC systems we recommend for hotels:

  • Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF/VRV) systems: ideal for large buildings with different needs across zones or floors.

  • High-efficiency central heat pumps (Bosch, Lennox, Goodman): perfect for combining heating and cooling with excellent performance.

  • Heat recovery systems: great for heating domestic hot water or pools using recovered exhaust air.

  • Wall-mounted or concealed units in rooms: for discreet, individualized comfort.

Available grants for eco-friendly hotels

Numerous government programs help hoteliers offset the cost of HVAC installations. Across Montreal, Longueuil, Laval, North Shore and South Shore, several initiatives, including Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert program, offer significant financial incentives for projects targeting energy efficiency.

We assist our clients throughout the grant process:

  • Assessing eligibility.

  • Preparing technical documentation.

  • Administrative follow-up with agencies.

HVAC maintenance: a must for hotels

A high-performance system requires regular maintenance to maintain its long-term efficiency. At AirGreen, we offer commercial HVAC maintenance contracts that include:

  • Coil cleaning.

  • Compressor and motor inspections.

  • Thermostat calibration.

  • Duct and indoor air quality checks.

We perform preventive maintenance, often during off-peak seasons, to avoid breakdowns during peak periods.

Practical tips for a successful hotel HVAC project

  1. Start with a full energy audit.

  2. Avoid oversized systems, which consume more than necessary.

  3. Incorporate smart controls to monitor zone-by-zone energy usage.

  4. Choose quiet systems for rooms, and more powerful ones for common areas.

  5. Plan for an annual maintenance program from day one.
