2.5 Summary
In conjunction with the energy management component of the HOTEL SOLUTION
system, flexible heating and cooling periods can be programmed in the guest rooms of
a hotel. This leads to reduced costs without impairing quality.
The priority-based controls can be used to specify which rooms are to be allocated and
how often. Algorithms can also be used for an automatic change of priorities (not yet
available).
Most front-office programs use their own reservation algorithms. In such cases the
appropriate interfaces need to be created, in order to combine the reservation features
of the FOS software with the reservation and energy management features of Siemens
HOTEL SOLUTION. The example above is a solution based on the Hogatex FOS
software.
If the hotel does not use FOS software, then realistic energy management is not
possible at present.
