AI-enabled smart hotel thermostats maximise energy management

Anacove’s new AI-powered Smart Thermostat is set to revolutionise HVAC efficiency in hotels. It helps reduce energy use by up to 50 percent while maintaining guest comfort, lowering operational costs and extending equipment life. Anacove Smart Thermostats are part of a complete line of solutions that includes safety alerts, leak detectors, and asset tracking services.

 Anacove, the pioneering developer of AI-enabled, cloud-connected energy management solutions for the global hotel industry, introduced its Anacove Smart Thermostat as part of a complete line of energy management solutions that also include Anacove Staff Safety Alerts, Toilet Leak Detectors, and Asset Tracking Services.

Anacove’s technology is already trusted by major hotel brands to optimize energy management and streamline maintenance. In tests with leading hotels for the last two years, including IHG Hotels, who have designated Anacove a preferred vendor, Anacove Smart Thermostats are now available to every hotel owner-operator who wants to minimize their energy costs while maximising the comfort level of their guests.

Anacove CEO, Ian Lerner explained,  “Until now, hotel owner-operators have been forced to make trade-offs between energy management and guest comfort.” Now, with Anacove Smart Thermostats, hotel owner-operators have total control over the entire spectrum of energy management in ways that ensure maximum guest comfort and maximum energy cost savings.”

Designed and engineered for 21st-century energy management, Anacove Smart Thermostats are innovative IoT devices with advanced sensors that monitor temperature, humidity, air quality, and guest presence. These devices seamlessly integrate with a hotel’s HVAC system through its existing Wi-Fi infrastructure, allowing for centralised control in the hotel. This enables continuous optimisation of each room, regardless of occupancy status, leading to immediate and sustained cost savings. Unlike other occupancy-sensing thermostats, Anacove Smart Thermostats actively manage energy even when guests are asleep or have left their pets in the room.

Centralized Management

The plug-and-play system can be set up by the hotel’s maintenance team or independent contractors without additional wiring. The system is updated via the Internet – virtually maintenance-free. The solution solves the unique challenges of hotel owners by bringing immediate value through energy optimization while enabling ongoing, long-term data-driven improvements. It orchestrates HVAC systems across the property to avoid system-wide inefficiencies such as peak consumption charges, while ensuring guest comfort. It simplifies integration, including combining data sources, while offering an easy-to-read dashboard that improves hotel and resource management.

Maximum Individual Comfort

With Anacove Smart Thermostats installed in the room, guests never enter a room that’s too hot or cold. The thermostat operates at pre-set temperature ranges that provide guests with a positive, welcome experience from the moment they open the door. It ensures guests enjoy their stay by making temperature and air quality a non-issue through optimized performance. It allows guests to easily control the room‘s temperature, reducing if not eliminating help calls to the front desk or maintenance staff.

Lerner emphasised, “Anacove Smart Thermostats offer a comprehensive hotel-wide strategy for savings that can reduce HVAC energy usage by as much as 50%, all while maintaining the highest level of comfort for guests. The Anacove AI cloud and our smart thermostats provide hoteliers with the power to achieve unparalleled cost savings.”

Anacove combines experience, proprietary algorithms and machine-learning-powered insights to upgrade the guest experience and improve energy efficiency.
