Honeywell, a premier global industrial products, and solutions company yesterday unveiled a revolutionary tool that would enable mid-market hotels to lessen their carbon emissions and energy use. Known as INNCOM Direct, the innovation is expected to alter the very spirit of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning management in hotels by making the more advanced energy-saving technologies available in this section.
INNCOM technology gave Honeywell entry into high-end hotel rooms in view of its sophistication in controlling the room climate in a bid to foster guest comfort and make savings on energy use. Honeywell is now set to offer similar benefits in the mid-market and limited-service hotels through INNCOM Direct, a product tailored to meet the needs.
Embedded with a detection system, INNCOM Direct will automatically change the temperature settings in the rooms depending on whether there are guests or not. This technology safeguards energy at a hotel through changing the climate in an active room automatically. For those rooms being unoccupied, it does this without the guests’ comfort being compromised. An instance is by INNCOM Direct; when a guest leaves a room, maybe even going for days, it will change the temperature for some energy savings and turn it back to normal when a guest comes back. Besides, with these devices, the hotel can preset unoccupied room temperature, so that when a new guest checks in, the room will be at comfortable levels automatically.
As truly remarkable as all these are, ease of use remains one of the more outstanding characteristics of INNCOM Direct. The system is built for rapid setup and provides managers with portfolio-wide analytics quickly and easily through a mobile device or from a centralized dashboard. This empowers a hotel operator who can respond as easily to the gas consumption at one of his properties as at multiple sites, making this as effective an option for a hotel chain as for individual hotels.
“Hotels are becoming carbon-conscious, and they want to demonstratively show they care about their impact on the environment,” said Billal Hammoud, President and CEO, Honeywell Building Automation, at the launch. The options available to the second-tier market to better manage its HVAC systems with automation until now were more limited in scope. INNCOM Direct is now leveling the playing field with an affordable, cloud-based energy management system.
With the arrival of the INNCOM Direct, mid-market hotels—the type of property that through past lack of budgets and less of an equal ease of use of perhaps sophisticated energy management technologies—will now gain huge benefit. Honeywell is democratizing the technology of INNCOM, hence helping these mid-market hotels reduce their carbon and operational costs for a more sustainable future within the hospitality industry.
Currently, with a more global concern for climate change and environmental degradation, more and more consumers are now demanding greener operations from hotels. INNCOM Direct caters to this trend by supplying a practical and affordable solution for making the hotel more energy efficient and better for the environment. Its cloud-based system makes the management process much easier and further optimizes operations in real time with scheduled monitoring.
In short, Honeywell’s INNCOM Direct is huge progress in terms of energy management for mid-market hotels. Contributing with a sophisticated, user-friendly tool that saves energy and reduces carbon emissions, Honeywell is democratizing high-quality environmental controls. The existence of INNCOM Direct raises sustainability levels that really matter to this next generation in the hospitality industry.
Such innovative solutions only underscore the commitment of Honeywell to helping businesses fight climate change and keep operational efficiency and guest satisfaction levels at the best possible standards. More hotels adopting these advanced technologies would surely point in the direction of a greener, more sustainable future for the industry.
