4 Echo™
Application Example: Hotel Bedroom
In this example the installer is able to create an
automated system to enable the control of lights, curtains
and temperature to ensure comfort for the guest,
whilst delivering energy efficiency and cost savings
for the hotel without disturbing the fabric of the room.
In addition, with wireless transmitters, the layout and
positioning is completely flexible and can be changed
quickly without disruption.
The guest is able to easily control their local environment
from a number of locations within the room. A 2 channel
transmitter by the entry doorway enables control of both
the bedroom and living area lighting. An additional 4
channel transmitter next to the bed gives further control
of not only the bedroom and living area lighting, but also
the curtains and an all off function. There is additional
control in the bathroom and on the balcony.
The hotel is able to control all lighting, heating and
cooling by the card switch transmitter, ensuring guests
do not leave lighting or air conditioning on when they
leave the room. The hotel is also able to ensure a safe
environment; the presence detector can be programmed
to turn low level lighting on when a guest enters the
room during the hours of darkness. In addition the
presence detector can be programmed to turn lighting
off, or dim to a low level when no presence is detected
in the room but the card switch is still in place. Door
contacts ensure the air conditioning is not in use whilst
the balcony doors are open, offering further energy
savings. The temperature sensor can also help control
energy costs; in a cold environment a reduction in
temperature by just two degrees during the hours of
sleep can have a big impact on the overall energy bill.
The KNX gateway enables each Echo-controlled hotel
room to be linked to a central computer, where a
facilities manager can remotely monitor and control each
hotel room, and the overall system.
