ABB i-bus KNX technology is being used to maintain optimum conditions for guests at the new Santa Claus Village on the Arctic Circle in Rovaniemi. The temperature, ventilation and even the operation of glass heating in 71 glass igloos from luxurious Finnish hotelier, Santa’s Hotels, are being individually controlled with ABB i-bus KNX technology.
For the hotel owner, this automation guarantees that the experience for the hotel’s exacting customers is consistently of a superior standard, whilst ensuring that the energy costs remain in check.
Despite the design of the 20 m2 glass igloos appearing simple, they conceal a lot of high-performance technology. The ABB i-bus KNX system controls everything from the internal and external heating of the hi-tech glass-roofed igloos, clearing the frost from the glass to give a perfect view of the sky to air source heat pumps and underfloor heating.
