  • We’ve definitely been more diligent in replacing the [climate controls] in our HVAC systems in order to be more efficient
  • Large, modern commercial HVACs can automatically throttle down its power output as a room becomes comfortable, which saves a large amount of money on unnecessary power costs that you avoid with proper controls
  • inefficient A/C makes guests angry and raises costs

  • For smaller hotels that are unable to afford the large machinery of an HVAC, there is PTAC maintenance
  • Dawes has recommendations for hotels that are actively replacing obsolete PTACs: purchased machines that use transcendental wheel technology over fan blades, which work to reduce noise
  • With transcendental wheels you can lower the overall noise, which we are proponents of

    This article emphasizes the importance of HVAC for hotel properties. Hotels have to work diligently on replacing the climate controls in HVAC systems and to make sure HVAC systems work properly in order to be more efficient and provide hotel guests with comfortable environment, resulting in guests' overall satisfaction. Large and modern commercial HVACs can save a large amount of money on unnecessary power costs and constant maintenance with proper controls. However, there are many hotels that cannot afford the large machinery of an HVAC, so this article introduces PTAC, Packaged terminal air conditioner, which is a type of self-contained heating and air conditioning system, for small-sized hotel properties. Generally, PTAC generates negative sound and visual impact on a room. Randy Dawes, corporate director of facilities at Select Hotels, advices hotels with PTACs to use transcendental wheel technology over fan blades, which reduces noise. This article also urges hotels to upgrade or replace their old HVACs for state of the art HVACs now. Since there are state and local rebates available for upgrading to modern HVAC technology, it is a good time to do so.

energy management

  • If an operator doesn’t have an energy-management program in place they might not be able to keep track of when it is most important to clean their devices
  • automatically generate reports summarizing issues within the hotel and direct staff to repeat offenders that might be costing the property more than necessary
  • Other methods for reducing energy costs include using systems that turn off climate control units when balcony doors are left open, or interfaces directly with the property by activating when a room is switched from vacant to occupied status.

  • Climate control equipment is frequently the biggest purchase cost for a guestroom, and costs the most in energy usage throughout the year

    Energy management systems provide a number of benefits to a hotel property: - better tracking and targeting of preventative maintenance programs - extend the life of equipment through better maintenance - auto-off climate controls - direct interface with the PMS system All these factors add up to provide cost savings in energy usage, improvement in engineer efficiency and effectiveness and increased equipment longevity. An energy management system brings value to the property and likely pays for itself over time through these benefits.
