Temperature setpoints are assigned throughout the hotel. However, the Room
Overview dialog box in the HOTEL SOLUTION user interface allows you to modify this
setpoint individually for each room.
In this way, the individual requirements of each guest can be satisfied.
The room controller options discussed here can only be used, of course, in hotels with
heating and cooling systems with the appropriate control system and controls. In
addition, the user must program these settings via the HOTEL SOLUTION user
interface.
3.2 Energy management options
The temperature setpoints are defined via the user interface of the HOTEL SOLUTION
system. For a detailed description of how to do this, refer to Section 13 ("Room states
and temperature profiles") of the user's guide to the HOTEL SOLUTION user interface.
This defines temperature profiles and room states and explains how they are
interrelated. These terms are therefore used below without further explanation.
3.2.1 Energy groups and room groups
In order to edit data in several rooms at once, the rooms concerned must be grouped
together according to certain criteria. The HOTEL SOLUTION system incorporates
energy group and room group criteria for this purpose.
All the rooms whose state is to be changed in a single operation thus need to be
assigned by the user to one energy group or room group.
We recommend the use of energy groups, as they are specifically designed for the
tasks associated with energy management. This is why it is easier to create energy
groups and assign rooms to these groups than it is to work with room groups. For the
same reason, the examples are restricted to energy groups although room groups can
be dealt with in a similar way.
The rooms are assigned to energy groups or room groups via the menu option
Energy Management | Room Energy Group Assignment...’ or via Rooms |
Settings... . The energy groups are edited via the menu option Energy Management |
Edit Energy Groups.... The user's guide to the HOTEL SOLUTION system User
Interface describes how to operate the various dialog boxes.

As can be seen in the dialog box above, the Priority of Energy Groups... and Priority
of Rooms in Energy Groups... commands are unavailable. These menus are for
hotels in which there is a link to the FOS which supports the exchange of data with the
HOTEL SOLUTION system (refer to Section 4).
