Pains & drivers
- Guest Room Control is a key application in a Hotel Building as it accounts for 70% of floor usage and around 30% of energy consumption.
- Most of the Guest Rooms are still very traditional in terms of lighting or temperature management: Mechanical light switch and autonomous temperature control with little integrations and basic features.
- But, as hotel owners and investors are very sensitive to the comfort of their guests as well as the efficiency of the room, different levels of Guest Room Control can be installed in the room.
Key objectives are:
- Better comfort,
- Advanced features to stand out from competition,
- Efficiency of the room in terms of energy management as well as intercommunication with the Hotel staff,
- Better level of Security for the guest.
How can a customer manage energy more efficiently?
- Occupancy Monitoring can allow up to 30% of energy savings in a room. The room is in economy mode (reduced light, temperature, closed curtains, ...) when no one is in the room . Simple to more sophisticated solutions are available : Key Card Holders, Presence detectors, Communication with the Check-in/Check-out system, ...
- Guest Room Control also makes it possible to increase the level of comfort for the Guest:
- Centralised Control with Bed Side Panel
- Lighting Scene to easily control all room facilities (Light, Temperature, Curtains, ...)
- Other functions can also be integrated in Guest Room Control to provide more control & better efficiency :
- Access Control,
- Monitor and automatic billing usage of Minibar,
- ...
Different architectures can be proposed depending on the needs of the Hotel: from autonomous products, semi-distributed products to fully communicating architecture.
