Hotels, malls and hospitals: Denka® Platinum beyond heavy industry
Chillers, lifts, LED drivers, UPS and imaging equipment all switch at high frequency. What happened at Soho Hotel, Jaber Mall and Hospital Santa Ana.
High-frequency noise is not only an industrial problem. Commercial buildings are full of switching loads: chiller and pump drives, lifts, LED drivers, UPS systems and — in hospitals — imaging equipment.
Headline results for a mall, a hotel and a hospital — with their very different methods.
Jaber Mall — Amman, Jordan
Plates installed in the electrical panels on 1 January 2026. The first five months were compared with 2025, adjusted for about 10% growth in activity and for new air-conditioning load: 16.8% savings, 40,494 kWh avoided over January–May 2026.
Soho Hotel — Amman, Jordan
Three full months (August–October 2026) were compared with the same months of 2025, normalised for occupancy and weather, while occupancy rose by about a third: 14.3% less electricity per point of occupancy.
Hospital Santa Ana — Colombia
83 plates on 28 panels and 31 breakers feeding chillers, autoclaves and imaging. A conservative IPMVP Option C analysis — with only three post-installation months and no weather data — estimates a reduction of ≈3–4%.
The lesson
Buildings can benefit, but results vary more than in heavy industry and depend on how well the baseline is normalised. That is why we publish the method with every number.
