In each room or in a group of rooms, a standard electricity meter with Modbus protocol can be integrated to analyze and monitor energy consumption. This meter provides accurate data on key parameters such as RMS voltage, RMS current, power, real energy and apparent energy, facilitating detailed control of electricity consumption. It is also possible to integrate standard network analyzers with Modbus protocol, which allow to obtain advanced information on power quality, such as total harmonic distortion (THD) or the presence of flicker, thus ensuring a deeper analysis of power performance.
For further analysis, the system allows the integration of additional sensors that identify and record the energy consumption of individual devices, such as televisions, hair dryers, refrigerators, lights and fan coils. This granular monitoring capability provides detailed insight into the specific usage of each appliance and device, thus optimizing the hotel’s energy management and providing greater control over the consumption of each specific room or zone.
In addition, the system supports the incorporation of temperature probes and flowmeters that allow accurate calculation of the energy consumed by the fan coils, providing valuable data on air conditioning consumption. This comprehensive solution also includes the possibility of integrating hot and cold water meters, providing a complete overview of the use of energy resources in the room, contributing to sustainability and operational efficiency.
Energy management is not only limited to electricity and water. It also allows the collection of data from other hotel systems, such as elevators or laundry equipment, providing an overall picture of energy consumption throughout the complex. This data can be analyzed to identify areas for improvement, reduce waste and increase operational efficiency.
If the information collected is combined with the data from the reservation program, a much deeper analysis can be performed, allowing to infer the energy costs associated with different customer profiles, such as families, young people or couples. In addition, the analysis can be extended to identify trends in consumption according to guest nationalities, providing hotel managers with valuable information on how different cultural groups use energy and resources. This integration between energy consumption and booking information creates a powerful tool to maximize both cost savings and customer satisfaction.
