How The Florian Hotel came to life with Eaton's Buildings as a Grid approach

Business owners across Europe are increasingly turning to electricity to meet carbon reduction targets, yet they often face an unexpected setback when it comes to enlarging the capacity of their building’s connection with the grid.

A project in the Netherlands shows how one entrepreneur has turned the lack of an adequate grid connection to his advantage. Tony Chu, general manager of The Florian Hotel in Amsterdam, has teamed up with Eaton to ensure his business had a reliable supply of low-cost, low-carbon electricity. By implementing Eaton’s Buildings as a Grid approach to the energy transition, he has overcome the setback of an inadequate grid connection to transform a former office building near Schiphol Airport into a vibrant hotel that makes the most of renewable energy.
