The LEED® certified hotel is in Fiumicino, Italy, and has achieved LEED® certified status. It offers comfortable and welcoming spaces that meet the international standards of the group to which it belongs. In all common areas and rooms, high levels of quality meet the needs of leisure and business tourists from all over Europe, thanks to a formula that combines comfort, quality and hospitality.
Its strategic location on the Rome-Fiumicino street make this hotel perfectly connected to both Rome and Da Vinci Airport.
It is a new building with a modern appearance with an opaque and transparent envelope with high thermohygrometric performance, as required by the LEED® protocol. The glazed components have technical characteristics able to limit (with solar factor 0.25), the incident solar radiation and its propagation effects inside the building.
The systems allow high energy performance due to high efficiencies, as well as the lighting made entirely with LED luminaires. Particular attention has been paid, considering the intended use, to acoustic design to guarantee the comfort of each occupant.
1. Air handling units equipped with high-efficiency heat recovery
2. Outdoor air flow rates according to Ashrae 62.1.2010
3. Equipment with reduced potable water flow rate
4. Photovoltaic panels on the roof
5. Use of materials with low VOC emission and VOC content
6. Materials with high SRI
7. Thermal comfort of interior spaces
8. Energy-efficient exterior envelope
9. LED luminaires
10. Sustainable site waste management and indoor air quality control during construction phase
Rating system: LEED® BD+C v4: Hospitality
Certification level: 46/110 points, LEED® Certified
Below, for each category, the percentage contribution to the total certification score. Also to the side, the score achieved against the total score that can be acquired for each category.
Preliminary assessment of the overall sustainability of the project: selection of the best LEED® certification rating and evaluation of the resulting attainable certification level.
Project team management activities through:
– Guidance on selection of materials and equipment in accordance with LEED® requirements.
– Approval of project documentation in accordance with LEED® requirements.
– Management of the project on LEED®online
Construction team management activities through:
– LEED® approval of materials and equipment
– Management for the implementation of construction plans
– Project management on LEED®online portal
Commissioning is a prerequisite for LEED®, the main purpose of which is to ensure that buildings and facilities are designed, constructed, and delivered to clients according to clear and well-defined criteria. The benefits of the process, if implemented on time, are:
– increases in occupant productivity
– containment of construction costs
– shorter plant commissioning times
Energy model activity allows for the comparison of two models of the same building, baseline and proposed, the former built according to Ashrae 90.1 Appendix G and the latter in accordance with the project. The result is a snapshot of the building’s consumption. The comparison between the two models allow to calculate a percentage savings in energy cost.
Al fine di assicurare le condizioni ottimali di benessere termo-igrometrico e di qualità dell’aria interna è necessario garantire condizioni conformi almeno alla classe B secondo la norma ISO 7730:2005 in termini di PMV (Voto medio previsto) e di PPD (Percentuale prevista di insoddisfatti).
È stata elaborata una relazione di calcolo in cui si dimostra che la progettazione del sistema edificio-impianto é avvenuta tenendo conto di tutti i parametri che influenzano il comfort e che ha permesso di raggiungere i valori di PMV e PPD richiesti per ottenere la classe B secondo la norma ISO 7730:2005.
