“Kemmeriboden Bad” hotel & country inn, Schangnau, Rotkreuz
The success story of family-run accommodation since 1834 suffered a bitter blow in a catastrophic storm in 2022. The whole ground floor of the restaurant and hotel business was flooded and completely destroyed. An array of technical challenges had to be overcome in order to be able to reconstruct the building’s cosy country inn style.
About the project
Innovative ventilation system with minimal installation height
The concept for this kitchen ventilation system was developed in cooperation with the ventilation installer, building services expert planning and the kitchen manufacturer. The situation over the large grill station presented a particular challenge. In order to provide an acceptable capacity for the steam, a special laterally connected ventilation hood had to be integrated into the EMK exhaust air ceiling system. With a ceiling height of 2.03 m, this was the only way to stem the extensive spread of steam from the grill. The building’s skylights posed a further challenge. They were clad with special skirts by EMK in order to allow the personnel to enjoy a share of daylight compatible with a working environment.
When it came to fresh air, special pressure chambers had to be built in order to comply with the current hygiene directives. Introduction via individual ceiling ventilation outlets was not possible with the low ceiling heights. The ducting had to be precisely coordinated with the ventilation firm Kunz Thun.
By successfully overcoming such challenges, EMK has continually established itself as the leading manufacturer and installer of efficient ventilation systems for commercial kitchens.
