Building management

“My hotel’s occupancy rates fluctuate depending on the time of year, something that is not reflected in my energy costs. I want a system that will help me keep costs in line with occupancy and boost my hotel’s profitability.”

Integrate guestroom management into your hotel’s reservation system

 

Solution applicable to four- and five-star hotels

 

Your hotel’s Property Management System (PMS) handles reservations, but it can also provide information about the status of each room: rented, rented and unoccupied, or rented and occupied. When the PMS and the guestroom management system interface, this information can be used to optimize room management and even save guest preferences for automatic customization of settings when the guest checks in.

Schneider Electric offers both guestroom management systems and complete building management systems, and delivers the expertise needed to integrate these systems into third-party Property Management Systems like Micros Fidelio and Opera.

Information concerning functions like temperature, lighting and electricity—managed at room level—can be monitored and controlled in line with information from the Property Management System, for instance:

 

• Unrented: Room is in economy mode. Room lights are turned off. Room heating or air conditioning is  automatically lowered. Window blinds and ventilation are set to maintain optimal conditions while the room is unoccupied.
• Rented and unoccupied: Room is in pre-comfort mode. Temperature and air quality can be automatically set to a position closer to comfort mode.
• Rented and occupied: All room settings can be adjusted by the guest.

> Reduce energy use by more than 20%

> Opt for simple guestroom management (to lower heating or air conditioning while guests are away from their rooms) for savings of 10%; add advanced management of un-rented rooms for an additional   10% savings

> Guests retain control of their environment while in their rooms for total comfort and ease of use

+ Simple communication between the systems via a gateway ensures easy implementation and integration
