Daikin expands Experience Centers in Europe

BELGIUM: Daikin has opened new Experience Centers in Thialf, Heerenveen in the Netherlands and an interactive and immersive AereXperience in Barcelona, Spain. 

The centres are designed to provide consumers and installers with the opportunity to see, feel, touch and hear Daikin’s heat pumps and air conditioning systems. In addition, the centres can answer the many questions posed by the latest technologies, such as on installation costs and savings on running costs, or which heat pump or air conditioning innovation is a suitable match for their particular home.

These latest Daikin Experience Centers brings the total in Europe to eight – Austria, Belgium (3), Hungary, Netherlands (2) and Spain.

AireXperience by Daikin can also be enjoyed virtually, thanks to the recreation of this venue in the Metaverse. By breaking down the barriers of physical spaces Daikin wants to transfer the future of air conditioning to wherever people are.

The newest Dutch Experience Center in the iconic Thialf ice skating stadium in Heerenveen supplements Daikin’s first successful location in Breukelen. The opening ceremony was performed by Dutch Olympic bronze medal-winning speed skater Antoinette Rijpma-de Jong. Daikin has been the main sponsor of the Royal Dutch Skating Association (KNSB) and active in the skating world since 2018.
