Spain. In order to reduce energy and water costs at NH Hoteles, Siemens equipped the NH Eurobuilding establishment in Madrid with new technologies that monitor guests' water and light consumption in real time.These smart rooms will allow the evaluation of energy (air conditioning and heating) and lighting behavior, which will serve as a guideline for the creation of the ecological room model for the future. This test phase allows to measure the lighting and air conditioning preferences of the clients to adapt them in the rooms in their different periods of stay.
The spaces of the hotel were domotically conditioned with devices that optimize consumption and are associated with a specific control software: Desigo Hotel Solution, which translates the guest's expenses into carbon emissions that can be consulted from the reception.
Likewise, the chain incorporated facilities control solutions that are integrated into the Check-in systems to adapt the climatic conditions to the actual occupation of the room (blocked/not sold/sold/occupied).
The new implementation of NH Hoteles will allow to implement future developments in its establishments, to know the consumption pattern of the clients and to reward those with a responsible attitude towards the environment.
