• Height: 6.8m, capacity: 800-1000 people

• Functional modes: Banquet mode: 80-100 round tables

• Wedding mode: Stage, T-stage and viewing area

Kazakhstan’s climate characteristics:

• Summer: Hot and dry, maximum temperature up to 40℃

• Winter: Long and cold, minimum temperature down to -30℃

• Other features: Large day-night temperature difference, dusty and arid environment

Key requirements for the air conditioning system under such climate:

• Strong cooling and heating capabilities

• Good energy efficiency and stability

• Rapid temperature adjustment for large, densely populated spaces

• No excessive local temperature difference or noise interference

II. Sparkey VRF Air Conditioning System Configuration

Sparkey customized an energy-efficient VRF air conditioning system based on: Auditorium’s usage scenarios and space scale Climate characteristics Load calculation (in line with ASHRAE 55-2020 "Indoor Air Quality Standard")

Indoor units configuration (total 28 units, 3 types):

• Embedded duct units: 16 units, for core activity area

• Wall-mounted indoor units: 6 units, for reception area

• Floor-standing exposed indoor units: 6 units, for supporting areas

• Common features:Independent temperature control, quiet operation (35-40dB)

Auxiliary systems:

• Intelligent control system: Supports central control and mobile APP remote control

• Fresh air system: 4 fresh air exchangers with heat recovery function
