Hotel Milano Scala Installed Mitsubishi Electric Filtration System
First zero-emissions eco-hotel in Milan enhances its services with high-quality indoor air
MILAN — Since its conception, the Hotel Milano Scala project has focused on environmental quality. The hotel has been committed to reducing energy consumption and wastage wherever possible. This eco-friendly vision has led to noteworthy achievements: zero CO2 emissions to the external environment for the past nine years, equivalent to a reduction of 400 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually, and energy savings of 35 percent with respect to a traditional natural gas system. This year, indoor air pollutants will be reduced by approximately 80 percent.
Hotel Milano Scala has recently installed a new Mitsubishi Electric filtration system. Fresh air entering the interior spaces is treated in four air handling units — three rated at 5,000 m3/h plus one at 10,000 m3/h for a total air treatment capacity of 25,000 m3/h — composed of a class G4 pre-filter and a class F9 final filter (the same ones used in hospitals to prevent contamination).
