Energy reduction strategy for hospitality buildings

A modern energy reduction strategy for hospitality requires IoT monitoring technology.

IoT (Internet of Things) technology can be the perfect solution for hospitality companies looking to reduce energy use and improve sustainability. Of course, in doing so they would also see a reduction in their energy bill.  By implementing IoT-based energy monitoring and reduction strategies, they can optimise resource consumption and identify areas for improvement. Implementing IoT-based energy monitoring and reduction strategies aligns with ISO 50001. This standard is helping hospitality companies establish a systematic approach to energy management, improve energy efficiency, reduce energy costs, and minimise their environmental impact.

In this blog post, we take a detailed look at what energy monitoring in hospitality companies can look like. So, if you are responsible for reducing energy use, reducing carbon footprint or looking to reduce costs for a hospitality company – keep reading!

Monitor Hut makes it simple.

Our sensors monitor energy usage in different areas of a hotel, restaurant or venue, including guest rooms, back-of-house facilities and common areas. This is to track real-time data on energy consumption, identifying patterns and trends. From the data, targeted strategies for reducing energy use can be developed.

Let’s look at hotels as an example. We install sensors in guest rooms to track the use of HVAC systems, lighting, and other electrical devices. Hotel managers use this data to identify rooms where energy consumption is high, allowing hotel staff to adjust the temperature, lighting, and other systems to reduce usage.

In common areas such as lobbies, restaurants, and conference rooms, we install IoT sensors used to monitor lighting, HVAC, and other systems. From insights these provide, managers implement strategies such as adjusting temperature settings, installing energy-efficient lighting, or using natural light to reduce energy use.

In back-of-house facilities such as kitchens, laundry rooms, and maintenance areas, we install IoT sensors that can be used to track the use of appliances, HVAC systems, and other equipment. From this data energy reduction strategies can be developed. Upgrading to energy-efficient appliances, using equipment only when necessary, and adjusting temperature settings are a few examples.

By monitoring energy usage throughout your hotel, high consumption areas can be identified. From this you are able to develop targeted strategies for reducing energy use. This helps reduce environmental footprint and can also lead to significant cost savings by reducing energy bills.
