How does the Hotel Energy Saver Key Card Switch work and its advantages?
-
Upon entry, a hotel card key is inserted energising the lighting circuits.
-
Upon exit, removal of the card key turns off the lighting throughout the room.
-
Switch is backlit for visibility in darkened rooms.
-
Allows 30-second egress time Engineers can couple card key switches with Watt Stopper’s lighting control panels to simplify wiring, especially in larger facilities.
-
Panels also enable housekeeping and maintenance staff to benefit from reports of room status (occupied or vacant) and logs of energy usage.
-
Integrating micro dimmers in the lighting design can enhance guest comfort by enabling maximum control over room ambiance for every activity.
-
Studies illuminate significant energy saving opportunity
-
Whether it’s to feel safer in an unfamiliar environment, or to provide a welcoming feeling when entering an empty room, many hotel guests leave bathroom lighting on for long periods of time, often to serve as a nightlight.
-
Studies show that hotel guest bathrooms offer one of the largest energy saving opportunities eliminating unnecessary extended operation of the lighting.
-
The studies also conclude that when the control solution includes provisions for night lighting, such as solutions offered by Watt Stopper/Legrand, energy waste is prevented and guest satisfaction is improved.
-
75% of the energy used by guest bathroom lighting occurs when the lights are left on for longer than one hour.
-
2 of every 5 guests leave bathroom lighting on if there are no nightlights, and an additional 16% of travellers bring their own nightlights to a hotel.
