Sportresidenz Zillertal

The client Heinz Schultz had been searching for a reliable automation solution from a single source for the Sportresidenz Zillertal: This solution had to meet the high expectations of hotel guests in relation to comfort on the one hand. On the other hand, the operator wanted an integrated system which integrated all of the plants and allowed him to manage them with ease.

The experts at Kieback&Peter had to develop a convenient closed-loop control system for heating, ventilating and cooling 18 double rooms, 4 suites, the wellness areas and the restaurants. They were also commissioned to optimize the provision of energy and water throughout the building, including the pools. Furthermore, they had to work technology from third parties into their plan – including pumps, fan coils, solar plants and heat recovery systems.

Since the corporate group owned by the Schultz family includes numerous ski areas and hotel and restaurant businesses in Austria, efficient and secure management from headquarters was of particular importance. For Sportresidenz Zillertal, Kieback&Peter therefore had to provide software that the operator can use to monitor, control and optimize the plants around the clock. Not only in the hotel, but also from the Schultz group headquarters. To do so, the system has to record all of the relevant energy consumers and data points.

Kieback&Peter developed a custom solution for Sportresidenz Zillertal that benefits both the operator and guests: In the 22 luxury rooms, a sophisticated individual room control system now ensures that heating, ventilation and cooling combine in the optimum way to satisfy requirements. Actuators, sensors and controllers are connected to each other via a LON®network and integrated into the building automation system. The hotel also uses decentralized closed-loop control via LON®in its wellness and restaurant areas.

Kieback&Peter has also set up four mechanical equipment rooms in the building that are each equipped with a DDC4000-system automation station. The flexible and powerful controllers control air preparation in eight zones and ensure the optimal provision and distribution of resources: Heat, cooling, hot water, bath water, the solar plant and heat recovery – everything is controlled by four DDC4000s. Pumps, counters, frequency inverters and other technologies are connected to the automation stations via bus systems.

Thanks to the Neutrino BMS software from Kieback&Peter, the operator can now oversee and manage the entire building automation system – from monitoring plants and consumption to rapid access in the event of emergencies. With the PHWIN software module, employees at Schultz group headquarters can also access the building management system for the hotel at any time – remote access is provided via a secure VPN tunnel.
