DULUTH, Georgia — Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US LLC (METUS) reports that its all-climate Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) heat pump systems are helping the Westin Atlanta Gwinnett deliver consistent comfort and energy performance across the full-service hotel. The property opened in March 2024 with 348 guest rooms and suites, along with event spaces, dining areas, and other amenities.
According to METUS, its VRF technology provides individualized temperature control in each room. The zoning strategy allows hotel staff to avoid conditioning unoccupied rooms, an important factor in a large property with high turnover. Suites were designed to maintain even temperatures throughout the space, and controls allow guests to adjust comfort settings as needed.
The project uses Mitsubishi Electric VRF for guest rooms, while Trane rooftop units serve shared spaces such as ballrooms, meeting rooms, hallways, and the main lobby. Concord Hospitality Enterprises, which developed the property, said the combined approach has supported both comfort and efficiency.
Carl Hren, executive vice president of development at Concord Hospitality Enterprises, said the VRF system has delivered stronger-than-expected energy performance and contributed to lower electrical costs for a hotel of its size.
The VRF units were installed in ceiling soffits near room entrances rather than in vertical terminal air conditioner closets. Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US states that this approach improved airflow distribution and preserved interior layout options while keeping equipment concealed from guests.
David Archer, vice president of commercial business at Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US, said the system’s quiet operation and room-by-room control support the hotel’s focus on guest experience and energy performance.
The Westin Atlanta Gwinnett is the fifth project Concord Hospitality Enterprises has completed with Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US. Based on performance at the property, the developer has begun specifying Mitsubishi Electric VRF systems for upcoming projects. The hotel received the 2024 Marriott Full Service Opening Hotel of the Year Award in recognition of its operational performance and guest satisfaction.
