Homewood Suites Galveston

Project Location: Galveston, TX

Owner/Client: Matrix Builders

Category: Hospitality

Description

The Homewood Suites hotel in Galveston, Texas features 88 guest rooms across five stories, along with meeting rooms and business centers where guests expect all the comforts of home.

Matrix Builders chose DXS for their energy-efficient HVAC systems that could meet tight budget needs and their commitment to service throughout the product life cycle. Their new hotel was equipped with a Daikin VRV heat pump condensing unit, a 16 ton Daikin Vision AHU with a wrap-around heat pipe, and 2 Daikin Rebel RTUs. An EKEXV integration kit from Daikin tied all the equipment into a VRV system for a cohesive, easy-to-service HVAC solution.

Education Key Consideration

School district facilities planners and maintenance personnel plus the design team who support them are tasked with developing and maintaining usable, comfortable buildings that promote learning. They must do this across the country under the scrutiny of school districts determined to spend every bond and tax revenue dollar wisely.

The DXS team understands the pressures under which school district personnel operate and we’ve helped alleviate much of that pressure. From our work with facilities planners and architects, we know that energy is one of the largest line items in a school budget. That’s where we can help. We design low-maintenance VRF air conditioning systems that reduce HVAC energy costs 20 to 50 percent.

Key Considerations
