The Challenge
Overheating and evacuations at island resort
People flock from all around the world to bask in Nassau’s tropical climate. But, after a long day relaxing on a hot beach, the last thing guests want is to return to an even hotter room. So when this luxury resort’s HVAC system sputtered, it was no wonder forced evacuation outraged every guest. And with 90% occupancy booked — and unplanned downtime on the horizon — revenues took as much of a hit as reputation. Their head engineer was on the lookout for a fast, effective cooling solution. So they reached out to Aggreko to turn down the temperature.
