The Situation

Discovery Primea, a luxury hotel in the heart of Makati, recognized the need to upgrade its pump system. The hotel, a preferred address for discerning travelers, sought to eliminate inefficiencies, enhance performance, and reduce operating costs.
As Mr. David Pardo Ayala, General Manager of Discovery Primea, emphasized, "Sustainability is very important for us here at Discovery Primea. Corporate travelers and tourists are all very aware of the impact of their hotel choices, and we make every effort to make a positive impact on the environment."

The Solution

Grundfos partnered with Discovery Primea, starting the project with a comprehensive pump energy audit. This process is a simple and fast way to identify potential savings in a pumping system.
The three steps include on-site data collection, expert analysis, and a tailored solution report. The recommended solution involved replacing two outdated chilled water pumps with state-of-the-art Grundfos NK 150-280/258 - 37KW pumps and two integrated Grundfos VFD CUE - 37KW Variable Frequency Drives.
This high-performing, sustainable solution was professionally installed and commissioned by Grundfos, ensuring seamless integration and peak performance.

The Outcome

The partnership with Grundfos provided Discovery Primea with a solution that perfectly aligned with its long-term operational and environmental goals. The new pump system delivered significant improvements in energy efficiency and system performance.
According to Mr. David, the hotel has achieved "30% in savings, in our electricity consumption" since the upgrade. This successful outcome demonstrates how Grundfos's innovative solutions help hotels like Discovery Primea optimize operations, reduce carbon emissions, and operate more sustainably without compromising on the guest experience.
