HVAC is rarely the star of a renovation—but it can make or break the guest experience. This session uses a real-life hotel retrofit to unpack what independent hoteliers should know when evaluating heating and cooling systems. From noise and aesthetics to IAQ and energy savings, we’ll explore what worked, what didn’t, and what others can learn. Attendees will leave with a practical checklist of HVAC considerations that align with their brand, budget, and guest expectations.
