Measure, control, and reduce energy
consumption
One approach to combining comfort
with reduced energy use is the dynamic
control of temperature and lighting.
If there is no one in a guest or function
room, the amount of heating or cooling
can be reduced without sacrificing com fort.
This can result in 20 to 30 percent lower
overall operating costs.
Siemens also offers interesting potential
savings with single room metering. These
intelligent room solutions measure guests’
individual water and energy use in real
time. Particularly energy-conscious guests
can be rewarded with loyalty points that
can be used for discounts or premium ser-
vices. This encourages the guest to both
act “green” and come back for another
stay. Initial results with international hotel
chains have confirmed the value of this
concept, which also enables an easy
benchmarking.
