Designed for sustainability, Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers is truly engineering tomorrow, with 60% lower electricity consumption than comparable hotels operating conventional energy technology, in 2015. Deploying the best environmental and energy technology, the hotel comes close to achieving carbon neutrality. Copenhagen’s luxury business hotel, the elegant Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers in the Ørestad district, has been designed from the ground up with sustainability in mind. Its electricity and water consumption for 2015 were respectively 60% and 30% lower than comparable properties in the Crowne Plaza chain, internationally. These results reinforce the hotel’s global benchmark status. The enviably lean power and water consumption are achieved on a solid base of innovative technology and best practice operation, demonstrated by ISO 14001 environmental certification and international recognition with a Sustainable Tourism (SKÅL) award, for the most environmentally friendly hotel in the world. Innovative ground water cooling system In order for energy consumption and CO2 emissions to be as low as possible, the hotel insisted on state-of-theart energy technology throughout. One of its most significant features is an innovative ground water cooling system. This supplies the heating and cooling for 366 guest rooms, conference rooms, kitchen, restaurant and offices in an adjoining wing. Allan Agerholm, Chief Hospitality Officer, BC Hospitality Group A/S, sums up the results like this: “I have to say that working with Danfoss on this project has been a tremendous success. We’ve had very few challenges. In fact, the system has delivered precisely what it was calculated in theory to do, which is really outstanding.” Summer Aircon system Make-up chillers Winter Heating system 55 °C Heat pumps 8 °C 16 °C The VLT® HVAC Drive delivers the essential capacity control enabling the ground-water-based Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) system to deliver state-of-the-art savings in hotel heating and cooling. 2 Danfoss Drives ·DKDD.PC.112.A2.02
