The decision to refit your yacht can have a significant impact on your HVAC system. For example, a renewed propulsion system will require the engine room ventilation and technical spaces to be upgraded to meet the new system demands. Likewise, air conditioning in the accommodation areas may need to be fine-tuned. We provide technology surveys prior to your refit to identify its impact and any possible challenges, and follow this up with recommendations on the

ENERGY SAVINGS
Often the idea is that HVAC is only about temperature but it is much more than cooling and heating. The HVAC system is the largest energy consuming installation onboard of a modern yacht and big efficiency steps are possible within this system without compromising on performance and comfort.
AIR QUALITY AND HEALTH HVAC must be an air treatment system. In a closed environment like a yacht there is a high risk of getting infected by viruses, bacteria and risks on building up mold. Large amounts of minuscule airborne droplets filled with bacteria and microorganisms caused by an ill person get spread easily. These suspended particles do not only quickly spread through one room but through the whole yacht by means of the HVAC system. Humidity levels are also a big influence in the spread of bacteria. That’s why it is important to control the air quality and create a healthy inside environment. There are several options to prevent your guests and crew from getting contaminated or to prevent mold build up. Every type of
filtration has their own pros and cons and we recommend the best fitting for your system.
ONBOARD CREW TRAINING We fully believe that you can only get the best out of your HVAC system if the onboard users know what they are doing. That is why we provide comprehensive crew training to equip those on board with a greater understanding and knowledge of all aspects of the system. This not only results in superior comfort onboard, but also helps to reduce costs, such as avoiding interior damage during periods of high humidity when the yacht is in economic mode. The training covers a basic knowledge of HVAC to understand the underlying physics, and practical training to master the onboard system. Awareness and understanding are key to maintaining a perfect working system.
