Because guests usually don't make an effort to conserve energy when staying in establishments such as inns and

hotels, there is an important opportunity for the hospitality industry to save on energy and other costs

through room lighting and automation controls. Studies show that eco-friendly room lighting and automation

products can be easily installed in motels and hotels to varying degrees to help these establishments save up to

25 to 44 percent on energy costs per room.

Hotel automation products offer a wide range of applications that can be used and combined to suit a

hotel's and its guests' specific needs:

Room-based Occupancy Controls: This category offers the widest selection of choices and applications for room

lighting and automation controls. Both HVAC and lighting systems can be controlled on a full, per-room basis

because the controls used in most establishments are local to the hotel suite and are activated when guests use their keycard to enter the room. They usually do not depend on

the entire building's automation system.

For room-control monitoring, the conditions and operation, as well as the energy usage of each hotel suite

can be viewed and monitored from the front desk or workstation to keep track of the system's effectiveness.

This can also help determine the guest's preferences and enable the hotel staff to make any changes or additions to

each hotel room's controls.

- Digital Thermostats: These products are different from other available energy-saving thermostats, as they are

able to switch between occupied or unoccupied modes. Compared to other products that are unable to sense

indications of room occupancy, these digital thermostats can be programmed for automatic heating or cooling

changeovers as soon as guests insert their keycards and enter the room. These can also be easily installed and

programmed to suit the guest's preferences and to achieve maximum energy savings.

- Lighting Controls: Lighting automation controls take energy efficiency and savings to a new level, as motels and hotel establishments can easily implement these to enable guests to control each section of their hotel suite's lighting levels, on or off status, or mood lighting, and set them to

energy-saving mode.

Bathrooms: Because studies show that 75 percent of a bathroom's lighting and energy costs are consumed when lights are left on for more than an hour, lighting devices

and sensors can be installed in the hotel suite's electrical box, where the bathroom's light switch is normally

located. These automation controls can shut down lights and other devices when guests leave the hotel suite.
