The Daikin SkyAir series is designed specifically for small and medium-sized commercial spaces such as offices, shops, and studios. Known for its combination of performance, flexibility, and energy efficiency, SkyAir bridges the gap between residential split systems and large VRV commercial setups — making it one of the most popular air conditioning solutions for UK offices.
Compact Design and Flexible Installation
Daikin SkyAir systems consist of a single outdoor unit and a variety of indoor units — wall-mounted, ceiling cassette, ducted, or floor-standing.
Outdoor capacities range from 3.5 to 14 kW, perfectly suited for office areas between 25 and 150 m².
Thanks to compact outdoor dimensions (down to 870 × 734 × 320 mm) and a total piping length of 75 m, SkyAir units can be installed in tight urban environments without loss of performance.
Energy Efficiency
Using the latest inverter swing compressors and R32 refrigerant, the SkyAir range achieves up to A+++ energy ratings.
Under EN14825 testing, the SEER reaches 8.6, and the SCOP exceeds 5.0, giving energy savings of up to 40 % compared with older R410A systems.
This high efficiency makes SkyAir ideal for businesses looking to reduce both operational costs and carbon footprint.
Comfort and Air Distribution
Daikin’s intelligent 3D airflow system ensures uniform air distribution in open-plan offices. Sensors monitor room conditions and automatically adjust direction and fan speed.
Temperature fluctuations stay within ±0.3 °C, maintaining a steady, comfortable environment for employees throughout the day.
Low Noise and Quiet Operation
Indoor sound pressure levels are as low as 24 dB(A), while outdoor units operate at 48–50 dB(A).
This quiet performance allows installation near workspaces, meeting rooms, or even residential neighbours without disturbance.
Smart Control
Every SkyAir system is compatible with Daikin’s Onecta App and BACnet/Modbus building-management interfaces.
Remote monitoring, weekly scheduling, and energy reporting are accessible via smartphone or PC, providing full control from anywhere.
Reliability and Service
All SkyAir units undergo a 1,000-hour salt spray corrosion test and include intelligent defrost and self-diagnosis functions.
Expected service life: 15–20 years with annual maintenance.
Conclusion
The Daikin SkyAir range offers small offices a professional-grade HVAC solution with exceptional efficiency, flexibility, and reliability.
Compact, quiet, and intelligent, it provides the perfect balance between comfort, sustainability, and cost control — making it one of the most trusted air conditioning systems for UK businesses.
