the opening of its first hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia. However, its oldest
hotel opened in 1959, in Ginza, Japan. Nikko Hotels International (NHI)
is a luxury hotel chain providing facilities and services to meet a wide

 Nikko Hotel Mexico City is a 5 star deluxe hotel located in the heart of the business district of Polanco, offering a
magnificent view over Chapultepec Park and Paseo de la Reforma Avenue. Nikko hotel Mexico has been acquired by
Hyatt group in 2012 and is now operated under the name of Hyatt Regency Mexico City.

In 2009, Nikko Hotel Mexico City decided to refurbish their Teppanyaki Grill restaurant... a masterpiece of their catering
pole. The Teppanyaki restaurants belong to the most challenging show cooking projects. It is probably the type of
restaurant where the proximity between chefs and guests is the highest one. In fact the guests plates are extremely
close from the grill surfaces. This kind of show cooking area points to customer requirements for efficiency and
ergonomics in a more undisputable technical environment. The high expectations of Nikko Hotel in terms of energy
savings combined to the amazing architectural concept of Mister Murai (Hisashi Murai Architect) led to one of Haltons
biggest challenge.

Nikko Hotel has chosen Halton solutions for the ventilation of its Teppanyaki
restaurant with a combination of several major benefits: up to 50% reduction in
energy consumption within an audacious architectural design, low emission levels at
the discharge point, best level of hygiene and fire safety.
For a project involving international actors, Halton played with its global operation. An
international team managed the project... from design, to manufacturing, installation
and commissioning on site.

 The Project Challenges and Halton Solutions
A Teppanyaki restaurant is based on the use of iron griddles at the same level than the guests table... all the way
to create most of the time a unique table. It allows the chefs to cook in front of the guests who are comfortably
installed around the grill to enjoy a really nice live cooking and dining experience. The projects consists in creating 11
independent dining areas, each of them equipped with a Teppanyaki grill, in a fully open and large space. This space
is completed by two private dining lounge.

The main challenge was to achieve perfect air comfort for the guests in this wide open. Smoke spillage and drafts
never forgive in such kind of live cooking. Our experience and knowledge on professional kitchen ventilation systems
was the key in designing the accurate technical solution and exact required airflow rates (supply and exhaust)
to achieve the best IEQ (Indoor Environment Quality). Our factory in Germany, specialized in ventilated ceilings
conception, designed eleven Creative Capture JetTM ventilated ceilings of KCJ type. Combined with laminar flow
supply units, the Capture JetTM technology reduces the exhaust airflow rates required by 15% while preventing any
smoke spillage. The Capture Jets protect as well the glass curtains installed around every table from dirt.

 As there was strong energy savings requirements, these 11 ceilings have been equipped with M.A.R.V.E.L.
technology. This innovative Demand-Controlled Ventilation system adjusts every ceiling airflow according to the actual
activity of the kitchen equipment. Its combination with the Capture JetTM technology leads to up to 53% reduction in
exhaust airflow rates... resulting in more than 40% savings on energy costs. M.A.R.V.E.L. contributes also directly
to improve the global comfort of the restaurant by adapting permanently the ventilation system depending of the
restaurant occupancy.
