Haier’s integrated HVAC solution to Larnaca heat

CYPRUS: Haier has delivered an integrated HVAC solution to Larnaca’s new district local government offices.

The project demanded reliable year-round comfort, strong energy efficiency, low noise levels, and a modern aesthetic suited to a contemporary working environment. 

With the demands of the Mediterranean climate, the system also had to handle high summer cooling loads while keeping running costs under control. 

To meet these requirements, Haier delivered an integrated solution combining MRV5-H systems, Revive Plus split units, and a heat recovery ventilation (ERV) network for heating, cooling, and fresh air supply throughout the building.

High seasonal efficiency, the ability to support long piping distances, and ultra-quiet indoor operation were all essential. Fresh air supply also had to be incorporated across multiple office spaces without increasing energy losses, making ERV integration a key part of the design. 

To meet the spec, MRV cassette units and ERV systems had to be fitted within restricted ceiling voids while still allowing access for servicing and maintenance. On the roof, high capacity outdoor units needed to be lifted and positioned safely using a specialised crane. All of this had to be completed within a demanding four-month programme.

The outdoor installation included four MRV5-H modules with a total capacity of 64hp (181kW), supported by two Revive Plus split units providing an additional 10kW. Together, these systems deliver heating and cooling performance across the entire office complex.

Inside the building, 38 MRV full-size and mini cassette units were installed, along with two wall-mounted Revive Plus units. For ventilation, six ERV units were added to provide a total fresh air exchange rate of 5,350m3/h.

To give both occupants and facility managers full control, each indoor unit was paired with an individual HW-SA201ABK wired controller. In addition, two central HCSA164DBT controllers were installed to allow building-wide monitoring, energy optimisation, and coordination between the ventilation and MRV systems.
