Energy is typically the second-highest operating expense in a hotel, which presents a good opportunity for savings. One of the easiest ways to be more energy efficient is to not use energy when it’s not needed, especially with PTACs & ACs. Hospitality Energy Management Systems (EMS) are designed to do exactly that without sacrificing the comfort of your guests.
The biggest savings can be seen in HVAC controls. Cutting edge technology can detect occupancy and efficiently scale the air conditioning to ideal temperatures. So there are no more extreme highs and lows.
Hospitality Energy Management Case Study: The Crowne Plaza Times Square in NY saw an annual savings of $112K from reducing their HVAC equipment run time. They employed the very same principals using an EcoSmart System.
In addition to the savings, installing EMS software can provide real-time data that can help identify potential high-priority guest room equipment problems. This means that issues can be addressed before they occur. They also combined with other wise arrays of other tech integrations. They invested in door locks and shades, for example. This is just one example of how hoteliers now have the ability to implement a full EMS to enhance guest experience as well.
