C&A

Prague, Czech Republic

C&A interior

As one of the largest shopping malls in the Czech Republic, Nový Smíchov has a retail space measuring about 60,000m2, including a 16,000m2 store for German fashion retailer C&A. Looking to renovate its entire HVAC system, the C&A store wanted to achieve year-round comfort in the most cost-effective and efficient way.

Year-round comfort

The store chose to install our VRV-W system and link it to the shopping mall's water loop system. We chose to install 4 water-cooled VRV outdoor units connected to 20 indoor units, 18 of which were auto-cleaning round flow cassettes to provide heating and cooling for the store. 3 more VRV-W units were also linked to an air handling unit to deliver fresh, pure air.

The system is centrally controlled by a touch screen control and our retail economiser adapter automatically optimises the efficiency of the system in pre and post opening hours.

VRV-W system

Auto-cleaning makes a difference

The unique round flow cassettes' auto-cleaning feature was the main reason to choose our VRV-W system. Ideal for busy shops, the round flow cassettes' regular auto-cleaning prevents dust from accumulating in the unit's filters to improve the unit's energy efficiency, reduce its running costs and create a more comfortable environment. Dust is easily removed every few months using a vacuum cleaner.
