Emblematic VRV projects of Daikin

Daikin, climate control for the new architecture

A lightweight box with a curtain wall, a panelled façade, insulation and sun control, glass skyscrapers with a spectacular look, broken profiles, oblique windows, a “cage”-like model and modular design are some of the most representative concepts in modern architecture. The essential features of these new building trends are design and sustainability. An unceasing search to blend the architecture into its surroundings,

for the “re-naturalization of the land”, plays a leading role in the use of creative, new materials that require minimum maintenance and are ecologically friendly. Architecture is, in the end, inseparable from the site on which it stands.

Today’s buildings have a number of added values, to a greater or lesser degree: good control of the interior lighting and views, cost-effectiveness due to using solar energy in the winter and significant energy savings during operation. It is on this last point that Daikin is actively working. On the next few pages, you will be able to see why the VRV® system is the perfect answer to the concepts of modern architecture, which are based on the fusion of design and environment, an urgent need to build “healthy” buildings and a significant increase in glazed areas.

This increase in glassed-in areas leads to considerably more heat, which can only be dissipated using air conditioning. If we also take into account the fact that the demand for heating and cooling can also vary considerably during the day, depending on the number of people and the occupation rate, solutions like VRV® are essential.

Daikin VRV® is a modern, flexible, reliable system that can supply just the right amount of air without increasing power consumption. This is why this modular system is the perfect answer to the air conditioning needs of new, intelligent buildings. The VRV® technology was specially designed to provide significant energy cost savings. It has been perfected over the years and is now in its third generation. In addition to all the possible air cooled systems, Daikin has introduced water cooling, specially designed for large facilities.

On this page you can see how Daikin has supplied the air conditioning to Spain’s major urban planning projects, including the extension of La Castellana in Madrid, “Operation Chamartin”, also in Madrid, the new “@22 District” in Barcelona and the “Galia del Puerto” project in Seville.

Join us on a tour of these projects. In this section, you will find a representative sample of the new architectural trends to be found in Spain. You will also see how the Daikin VRV® system offers the ideal air conditioning solution for the complexities of any building. Find out why Daikin is one of the partners most often requested by the country’s most prestigious engineering consultants.
