e rising cost of energy is changing how these facilities operate and their concepts of energy management. It used to be true that the guest pays for the luxury of expelling air conditioned air into the atmosphere or leaving the TV on while they shop. Today hotels are looking at ways to continually meet guest’s needs and expectations while paying heed to economical and ecological arguments to govern wastage.Focusing on the largest consumer of energy within a hotel suite, controlling the heating and cooling systems can provide the shortest return on investment with lowest capital costs. Secondary elements that benefit from control include fixtures, lights and appliances like the television or Internet router.
Using occupancy state to determine operating mode via a key card switch; SmartSuite adjusts the equipment into a normal operation when a guest is present and back to economy mode when vacant. SmartSuite also monitor‘s patio doors and windows and adjusts the equipment automatically to economy or stand-by mode if either are left open. Longer periods of vacancy between guest visits are accommodated automatically avoiding manual adjustment by the hotel staff.
Integrating patio doors and windows into suite controls is costly and invasive. Extensive installation work must be performed just to acquire the monitoring capability. SmartSuite uses self-powered wireless switches; no wires, no junction boxes, no batteries, and no maintenance. A quick installation avoids having to close the suite so retrofits take place between guest visits. Leveraging innovative energy harvesting technology that is both “clean and green” allows hotels to market this unique approach to delivering energy savings. Guests will appreciate the innovation and concept of using the plentiful ambient energy. Hotels will find it easy to add onto their systems in the future with simple upgrades allowing them to remain ahead of the curve insuring their investment continually reaps rewards.
