GREE VRF Systems for Hotels

The GREE GMV 6 series has become one of the most versatile HVAC solutions for hotels and resorts in the UK.

It combines advanced inverter technology, precise individual room control, and quiet operation — all vital for maintaining guest comfort and reducing operational costs.

Multi-Zone Control

Each GMV 6 outdoor unit can connect to up to 80 indoor units of different types (wall, ducted, cassette, or floor-standing).
This enables independent temperature control in guest rooms, reception areas, restaurants, and corridors.
Guests can set their preferred temperature without affecting adjacent zones — an essential feature for four- and five-star properties.

Energy Efficiency and Performance

With a wide operating range (–25 °C to +55 °C), GREE VRF systems ensure year-round comfort.
Key specifications:

• SEER: 8.4

• SCOP: 5.2

• Energy rating: A+++

Using R410A or R32 refrigerant and twin rotary inverter compressors, the system delivers energy savings of up to 45 % compared with fixed-speed models.

Heat Recovery Operation

The GMV 6 HR variant enables simultaneous cooling and heating across different zones.
For example, heat extracted from a sun-facing lobby can be used to warm shaded guest rooms — reducing overall power consumption by up to 35 %.
This internal energy redistribution is particularly effective in multi-floor hotels.

Quiet and Discreet Performance

Noise levels are critical in hospitality. Indoor units operate as quietly as 22 dB(A), and outdoor units feature low-vibration design with sound levels from 48 to 54 dB(A).
This allows installation near guest windows or balconies without disturbance.

Smart Controls and Monitoring

All GREE VRF systems support centralised BMS integration (BACnet, Modbus, LonWorks) and the GREE GMV Cloud Platform.
Hotel managers can monitor occupancy, energy use, and unit status in real time, optimising operation according to seasonal demand.

Maintenance and Reliability

Self-diagnostic software monitors compressor performance and refrigerant flow.
The expected lifespan of VRF modules is over 20 years, with minimum service requirements.
All components are factory-tested under extreme load conditions.

Case Study

A 150-room hotel in Manchester upgraded to GREE GMV 6 heat recovery units in 2024.
Energy consumption fell by 37 %, while guests reported a marked improvement in comfort and noise levels.

Conclusion

The GREE VRF system offers a flexible, efficient, and quiet solution for hotels seeking modern comfort with reduced energy costs.
Its multi-zone control and heat recovery capabilities make it a perfect choice for hospitality projects of any scale in the UK.
