As Indonesia’s hospitality industry rebounds and evolves in the era of energy transition, Johnson Controls-Hitachi Air Conditioning Indonesia, a global frontrunner in HVAC technology, is leading the transformation of HVAC systems within the hotel sector. With a focus on adaptability, sustainability, and enhancing health and well-being, the company provides cutting-edge, energy-efficient, IoT-powered solutions designed to optimize operational performance, enhance guest satisfaction, and promote environmental sustainability.
The Central Statistics Agency (BPS-Statistics Indonesia) reports that star hotel occupancy increased by almost 14% year-on-year from 2021 to 2024, reflecting a strong recovery. Nevertheless, the sector is encountering fresh challenges, including changing guest expectations, labor shortages, stricter energy regulations, and Indonesia’s commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2060. To stay competitive, hotels must evolve to cater to digital nomads and long-term guests, enhance indoor air quality (IAQ), and upgrade their infrastructure to align with sustainability objectives.
“Indonesia’s hospitality sector is growing, despite the challenges. One thing we are sure is that sustainability is no longer optional—it’s a necessity. Our innovative HVAC solutions are designed to address issues, helping hotels adapt, thrive, and contribute to a sustainable future,” said Susanna, General Manager at Johnson Controls-Hitachi Air Conditioning Indonesia.
Adapting to Changing Needs
Our HVAC solutions are designed to integrate effortlessly into both new and existing hotel properties. The air365 SideSmart VRF system is perfectly suited for urban hotels, occupying minimal outdoor space, while the award-winning 4-Way Ceiling Cassette iF Design Award 2020 Silent-Iconic panels provide quiet and efficient cooling for both guest rooms and meeting areas.
Sustainability at the Core
In response to rising energy costs and increasingly strict regulations, sustainability has become a crucial focus. Our air365 Max VRF system significantly enhances energy efficiency, featuring a high Cooling EER of up to 5.40 and SmoothDrive technology that reduces operational costs during partial load conditions. This results in a 47% reduction in energy consumption and carbon footprint. Additionally, IoT-enabled controls like airCloud Pro enable easy remote monitoring and predictive maintenance, ensuring sustained efficiency over time.
Fostering Health and Comfort
As awareness of indoor air quality (IAQ) grows, maintaining clean air becomes vital for guest satisfaction. Our “3R framework” (Right Temperature, Right Feeling, Right Purity) ensures optimal air quality, while advanced technologies such as ViroSense Z2 and AQtiv-Ion Kit effectively reduce airborne pollutants, creating healthier and safer environments.
In the fast-evolving hospitality industry, upgrading HVAC systems is a wise investment that enhances the guest experience, ensures compliance with regulations, and boosts operational efficiency. With a proven track record in serving the hospitality sector, we are poised to help hotels modernize their infrastructure and succeed in the era of energy transformation.
