Hotel solves problem of smoke pollution in the workplace
Smoking allowed, but hotel bar staff do not suffer
cigarette smoke
Air cleaners also reduce energy wastage, as doors are no
longer opened for fresh air
Smoke pollution in the workplace is no longer a problem
at the Novotel London West in Hammersmith. Bar staff
have not suffered from cigarette smoke since four
Honeywell air cleaners were installed by clean air
specialists Inn-House Technology. Novotel London West –
Novotel’s flagship UK hotel – has also reduced energy
wastage, as there is no longer any need to open doors
for fresh air when the bar is filled with heavy smokers.
The air cleaners are very effective but unobtrusive,
being installed within the ceiling void, with only their
grilles visible.
“Smoke pollution is an issue that has grown rapidly in
the hospitality industry and we have a duty to our staff
to give them the most pleasant working environment
possible,” comments René Angoujard, General Manager
Novotel London West. “Simple additions like these are a
cost effective and energy efficient way of looking after
our employees.”
Bar staff are delighted with the Honeywell cleaners.
“Smoke pollution has always been a problem in our line
of work and we’re delighted that the hotel is doing so
much to minimise this sort of pollution,” said Carole
Sibuet, bar manager. “Everyone agrees the cleaners are
good. They have three fan speeds but work satisfactorily
on the minimum setting most of the time. If there is a
lot of smoke, the staff can increase the speed using
infra red remote controllers, to ensure all the smoke is
removed.”
Benoit Charrière, health and safety manager, said:
“Staff exposure to smoke was always an issue during risk
assessments for ISO 14001 compliance. The hotel’s
ventilation and air conditioning does not remove smoke,
but the Honeywell air cleaners have solved the problem.
He continued, “The air could become very polluted when
we had 200-300 people in the bar before a big function.
We have a smoking area at one end of the bar. The smoke
doesn’t reach the rest of the bar, as it used to. We
have a double air cleaner unit above the main smoking
area, a single unit above the bar and two further single
units at the limits of the smoking area.
“In the hotel business we recognise that smoke
discolours ceiling tiles. Honeywell air cleaners prevent
that, so are a very good idea in a new building.”
The installers, Inn-House Technology, return every six
weeks to clean and service the units.
Honeywell electrostatic air cleaners actively remove
airborne pollutants including dust, tobacco smoke,
allergens and viruses, leaving a healthier environment
for everyone – especially those who dislike cigarette
smoke or suffer from hay fever. So they are unlike
ventilators which only move air and unlike air
conditioners which only cool air and adjust humidity.
Millions of Honeywell air cleaners are in daily use
worldwide, in cafes, bars, restaurants, offices, hotels,
leisure centres and other venues. By providing clean
air, staffs are happier, less prone to illness and hay
fever, and enjoy a smoke-free workplace. Customers are
more comfortable, so stay longer and spend more.
Honeywell electrostatic air cleaners work in two ways.
First, larger particles are trapped by a mesh filter.
Tiny particles remaining receive an electrostatic charge
and are attracted onto aluminium plates, like iron
filings onto a magnet.
The cleaners are available in various sizes and designs
to suit the room size, layout and decor, in
surface-mounted, recessed and even portable types that
can be wheeled from room to room. All have high
efficiency fans for exceptional performance and are
designed to provide an effective air distribution
pattern whilst minimising draughts.
