Designed to explore the challenges and opportunities facing the hotel sector, the event will focus on practical strategies for improving building performance, reducing carbon impact and future-proofing hospitality assets, while maintaining guest comfort and operational efficiency.

Set against the backdrop of one of London’s most iconic venues, the summit will explore key challenges facing hotel operators and building owners, including ageing HVAC infrastructure, stranded assets and balancing sustainability targets with capital expenditure and energy performance. The agenda will also cover the role of SMART controls in improving energy efficiency and guest comfort, addressing Scope 3 emissions through service-led innovation, and the latest solutions for efficient hot water generation and simplified hotel room HVAC fit-outs.

Attendees will also learn more about engineered HVAC solutions designed specifically for hotel environments, including how Daikin’s VRV5 technology can help remove the need for costly and visually intrusive refrigerant leak detection systems within hotel room fit outs. By simplifying compliance and reducing installation complexity, these solutions can support more efficient project delivery while helping maintain the aesthetic and comfort standards expected across modern hospitality spaces.

Harry Whitehead, Corporate Clients Division Manager at Daikin, said: “Hotels are facing increasing pressure to decarbonise, improve efficiency and enhance the guest experience, all while managing operational costs and future investment decisions. The Daikin Hotel Summit has been created to address these challenges directly, bringing together practical insight, industry discussion and forward-thinking solutions tailored specifically for the hospitality sector.”

The summit reinforces Daikin’s continued commitment to supporting commercial buildings on the path towards lower carbon operation and long-term sustainability.
