Hospitality Projects
Guest comfort and experience are the foundation of 3C Engineering hospitality design.
From new construction of a modern 200 room resort to the retrofit of a historic building into a hotel or restaurant, 3C Engineering ensures your hospitality building is energy efficient, comfortable for guests, and has a high level of controllability over systems.
3C Engineering has over 10 years of experience designing energy-efficient mechanical and plumbing systems, intuitive building automation systems, and providing professional building commissioning for hotels, wineries, restaurants, and other hospitality sectors. 3CE has experience designing for buildings from coastal to desert climates.
Design Considerations
Energy-efficient designs that reduce water and energy waste.
Unlike most buildings, hot water is often the largest energy consumer for a hotel. Constant showers and never ending laundry create a massive hot water demand. It is imperative that water heating and delivery systems are engineered to meet those needs. 3C Engineering ensures innovative energy efficient designs, such as recirculation systems, to reduce water and energy waste for our clients.
Diligent equipment selection, especially for buildings on the coast.
Coastal buildings have a unique design challenge: harsh salt air. Salt air can damage equipment and reduce hardware length of life. Equipment must be selected carefully and installed in weatherproof enclosures with applied coatings in order to prolong the life of systems. From coastal to desert climates, 3CE’s team has valuable insight into designing and selecting HVAC and plumbing systems for hospitality.
HVAC systems designed with noise reduction in mind.
There’s nothing worse than checking into a noisy hotel room or sitting under loud equipment at a restaurant. Oftentimes, this noise is the product of poorly designed HVAC systems. It is crucial that all equipment be mounted with spring isolators and that air registers and ducts be sized with low noise criteria in mind.
Troubleshoot at any time with an intuitive building automation system.
Hotels have virtually no downtime. From breakfast to late-night events, hotel staff work hard to ensure the comfort of their guests. With several common areas and variable times of use, facilities managers need an intuitive BAS to troubleshoot any problems that may arise at any time of the day. 3CE will design a BAS tailored to your facility’s specific needs.
Ensure equipment functionality with professional building commissioning.
Building commissioning saves time and money as critical defects in installation and equipment can be caught early on in the build phase. Ensuring equipment is working properly prevents having to replace equipment earlier than needed during guest occupation. 3CE’s commissioning agent will catch issues and ensure that your equipment functions as intended.
