Danfoss Fire Safety
Case story | SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system Alsik Hotel in Denmark: modern high-rise building protected by SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist fire safety system Danfoss Fire Safety A/S Green building all the way Alsik Hotel, Spa and Conference opened in the spring of 2019 in the heart of Sønderborg, a beautiful harbour city in southern Denmark. Right from the concept stage, the Alsik high-rise building played a special role in a city that has made a commitment to becoming one of the most environmentallyfriendly places in Denmark. This is known as ProjectZero, and Alsik Hotel has fully embraced the legacy this project represents for the local community: sustainable growth and a carbon free future. Natural Scandinavian design Designed by one of Denmark's leading architectural firms, Henning Larsen, the 19-storey aluminium and glass high-rise hotel completes world-renowned Frank Gehry's waterfront masterplan for Sønderborg and Flensborg Fjord. Alsik Hotel has an impressive surface area of 24,800 m2. The building includes 190 rooms, 9 conference rooms, a spa, wellness treatments, fitness studio and 2 restaurants. Both the interior and exterior design draw inspiration from Nordic wildlife and its unique light. Alsik Hotel was thus built with sustainability in mind in order to optimize the supply and use of energy, water and materials during the construction stage, but also to ensure that running the hotel is as environmentally-friendly as possible. All these elements have a big influence on the building's lifetime cost.
