The animals at Pairi Daiza and their visitors enjoy customized comfort thanks to Siemens technology and solution partner Thermia.
The Belgian animal park Pairi Daiza is ranked among the best in the world. Its 2 million annual visitors would agree. Home to more than 800 animal species on nearly 75 hectares, the park strives to reveal the beauty and fragility of nature while working to protect threatened species. Everything is designed to offer maximum comfort for each animal (and visitor) thanks to Siemens technology and our certified solution partner, Thermia.
At Pairi Daiza, Thermia is in charge of integration and managing more than 50 installations in ordner to ensure the right climate for each species. Thanks to Siemens building technology, temperature, humidity, and air quality can be controlled perfectly without causing any discomfort for visitors. Both humans and animals benefit from an optimal environment at all times.
"The long-standing collaboration between Pairi Daiza, Thermia and Siemens provides the stability needed to carry out these technical implementations, while taking into account efficiency, environmental preservation, animal welfare and economic profitability."
Jean-François Hebert – Technical manager at Pairi Daiza
"This project had particularly high air conditioning requirements. Thanks to our long cooperation with Siemens and its sophisticated offering in this field we were able to implement a suitable solution with heat recovery that consumes very little energy."
Frédéric Vandewiele – Managing Partner at Thermia
The comfort of animals and visitors is of paramount importance for Pairi Daiza. The climate must be perfect everywhere, both in the enclosures – including those in the Land of Cold – and in the hotels of the Pairi Daiza Resort. In addition, the “Garden of the Worlds” is committed to reducing its ecological footprint as much as possible – a major challenge that its technology partners, Siemens and Thermia, have mastered.
Animal and visitor comfort is key at Pairi Daiza. A perfect climate is ensured in all enclosures, including the Land of Cold and in resort hotels, while the park reduces its ecological footprint with Siemens and Thermia.
From tropical birds to penguins, elephants to pandas, each species needs its own habitat. Creating comfort across such a diverse park requires advanced technical solutions.
Opened in April 2020, the Land of the Cold at Pairi Daiza houses Arctic species and required recreating an Arctic climate while ensuring A+ energy efficiency for its large‑scale cooling installations.
Arctic climate, optimal indoor temperatures in the hotel, comfortable habitat for hundreds of species of animals... No matter what the challenge, Thermia, an experienced specialist in the design and implementation of air conditioning, ventilation and lighting systems, has been able to solve it. The company has been a partner of Pairi Daiza for many years, deploying the latest technology from Siemens.
At Pairi Daiza, Thermia installed 50+ systems creating ideal climates for each species.
Siemens building technology precisely controls temperature, humidity and air quality, ensuring comfort for both animals and visitors.
To efficiently control the Land of Cold climate and heat Pairi Daiza Resort, Thermia built a heat pump transferring energy from cold zones to hotels.
Siemens Intelligent Valves adapt automatically, ensuring optimal efficiency.
Pairi Daiza uses Desigo CC for 24/7 centralized monitoring of all systems. The open platform supports multi‑vendor equipment, enables preventive maintenance, instant alerts, and ensures comfort for animals and visitors.
This building management platform controls, monitors and optimizes all disciplines in a building, such as the accommodation and hotels in Pairi Daiza. The solution is purely based on open standards and improves performance during the entire lifecycle of a building.
Intelligent valves from Siemens for HVAC systems guarantee an optimal indoor climate, while also increasing energy efficiency and reducing operational costs. Easily planned, installed, commissioned and operated.
