unit. In addition a fan speed switch is also provided for each unit thereby en- abling guests to adjust the speed of the unit.

As the bathrooms are completely internal, a mechanical extract ventila- tion system is provided and this is balanced with the incoming fresh air quantity. This waste air is discharged at roof level. The air enters the bath- room from the bedroom via a small door grille and the extract grille itself is strategically located at ceiling level in order to take away accumulated steam when guests are taking showers behind the closed shower curtain.

Previously the water chilling sys- tem, including cooling tower and con- densers, was installed at roof level. Chilled water supplies are now obtained from the main air conditioning plant room located at ground floor level of the Peninsula Hotel. These supplies are pumped through chilled water mains, routed across the bridge and up the light-well of the Peninsula Court to the fresh air plant on the roof, with sub- mains along each corridor branching into the fan coil units in guest bed-

rooms.
