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 Halton’s

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.

Principle drawing of the Teppanyaki restaurant with the 11 tailor made ventilated ceilings.

Nikko HotelMexico, Polanco Chapultepepec

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.

Nikko HotelMexico, Polanco Chapultepepec

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.

Halton delivered a comprehensive package which has included several Halton products/technologies manufactured in

different regions of the globe combined with a full service. The ceilings and lamanar flow units have been manufactured

in Germany; The EcoloAir exhaust units, with an advanced air purification technology have been manufactured in the

United States, as well as two Air Handling Units of 15,000 cfm (25,500 m3/h). The Fire Suppression Systems (FSS)

which equip the eleven ventilated ceilings have been pre-installed from factory. They constitute the best solution to

provide the highest fire safety level for both the restaurant and the whole building itself.

To facilitate the installation and commissioning operations for the HVAC company and our supervisors, the ceilings

and supply units have been equipped with connection plenums to reduce the number of connections to the ductwork

and save a lot of time.

All in all, Nikko Hotel Mexico has a High Performance Show Cooking Area which is based on the most effective

solutions of Halton’s High Performance Kitchen concept.

Products and technologies installedThe products or technologies described above have been combined with other solutions which give to Nikko Hotel

restaurant the status of High Performance Kitchen.
