The right strategy for placing the AC unit will provide complete comfort in multi-story buildings with limited areas without interfering with the beauty of the interior.
An aesthetic showroom will lose its charm when customers feel uncomfortable because the air temperature is too hot or cold. The well-maintained temperature in the room will make customers feel comfortable when looking at displayed items and indirectly help them in making buying decisions.
This careful calculation is the main concern for owners of Beranda, who do not only prioritize the beauty of the interior space but also maintain a comfortable temperature for their prospective buyers.
A showroom that is designed like a residential house, of course, needs to provide comfort for the occupants – in this case, potential buyers of furniture displayed in the showroom. The showroom consists of two floors without partitions with a total area of Sm x 12m = 60m2, which requires an aesthetically pleasing placement of the AC units to maintain the beauty of the interior design and provide comfort for customers. It may sound simple, but not in practice. Due to limited space, the airflow of the air conditioner can only be in two longitudinal lines on the ceiling, shared with spotlights that provide warm lighting. The precision or accuracy of selecting the air outlet point must beaccuracy ensured, detailed, and symmetrical solely to main tain the room’s aesthetics. It should also be considered that the cold air output is not directed to the head when the customer is standing or sitting, including when the furniture layout changes in a certain period.
The roof on the second floor with a skylight concept is also a challenge in itself. When the sun is hot, the indoor temperature automatically rises. With these fluctuating temperature conditions, the air conditioner must be able to maintain the temperature well in the morning, afternoon, and evening. The cooling process must be fast when the sun is hot so that customers don’t feel hot in the room. Even though two AC units are installed on each floor, with the right placement and if the air is not too hot, turning one AC unit on the 2nd floor will still provide well-distributed cool air throughout the upper and lower rooms. If the room is packed with customers or during a special event, then it will be necessary to turn on both ACs.
AC maintenance also gets special attention; furniture should not be moved when maintenance arrives. The maintenance process should be focused on the ceiling area and not interfere with activities in the showroom itself. Detailed planning, delivery speed, easy maintenance, and zero complaints have always been the focus of installing AC units in any building, including showrooms.
