A Historic Landmark Enhanced with eFlow-Constant Airflow Regulator
Project Overview
Casa Marina by Hilton, a timeless icon in Key West since 1920, has been reimagined with modern upgrades to enhance guest comfort and sustainability. As part of a comprehensive retrofit in 2023, this legendary 4-story resort, known for hosting Hollywood celebrities and U.S. Presidents, now integrates cutting-edge eFlow ventilation solutions. Remington Construction, the installer, leveraged eFlow’s advanced 6” Constant Airflow Regulators (CARs), set at a 30-60 CFM range, to deliver energy-efficient, balanced airflow and superior indoor air quality across 311 guest rooms.
This retrofit seamlessly blends the resort’s historic charm with modern energy-saving innovations, ensuring that guests enjoy both luxury and sustainability.
