Abstract
The following article deals with some design and installation aspects considered during the redevelopment of a resort hotel for air conditioning system. In addition to the type of system, it is explained which was the best choice on the type of indoor unit to be used inside the rooms, as the problem was linked to the reduced height of the false ceiling. The type of indoor units compared are concealed duct and 1 way cassette types. The study of the comparison is done evaluating the results given by CFD and noise analysis, added to the evaluation of the installation times and costs of the two options.
