Summit focus on the hotel sector

UK: Daikin UK is to stage its first Hotel Summit for hospitality professionals, consultants and industry experts in London next month.

Taking place at the Tate Modern on 4 June 2026, the Hotel Summit is designed to explore the challenges and opportunities facing the hotel sector. It will focus on practical strategies for improving building performance, reducing carbon impact and future-proofing hospitality assets, while maintaining guest comfort and operational efficiency.

The summit will explore key challenges facing hotel operators and building owners, including ageing HVAC infrastructure, stranded assets and balancing sustainability targets with capital expenditure and energy performance. 

The agenda will also cover the role of smart controls in improving energy efficiency and guest comfort, addressing Scope 3 emissions through service-led innovation, and the latest solutions for efficient hot water generation and simplified hotel room HVAC fit-outs.
