Plugs into what you have
Existing meters, BMS and SCADA stay where they are. Volts connects to them, retrofits the rest, and starts reading on day one.
Protect guest comfort without paying for empty rooms.
Connect occupancy, HVAC, hot water, kitchens, spa and guest-room loads so engineering teams cut avoidable waste without compromising the stay.
TRUSTED BY TEAMS RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLEX GUEST OPERATIONS
WHERE THE MONEY GOES
Every wing, kitchen and spa on its own meter.
Separate guest floors from kitchens, laundry, spa, pool, concessions and central plant. Management sees which operating zone moved and whether the cost followed occupancy, weather or avoidable baseload.
- Meter the zones that can change a decision - not every room by default
- Compare energy per occupied room-night, so cost follows occupancy rather than the calendar
- Bill authorised concessions from their own readings and agreed tariff basis
NO RIP-AND-REPLACE
Match conditioning to sold rooms and real schedules.
Keep the existing BMS and retrofit only missing points. Approved schedules can follow wing, season and occupancy while comfort limits, local override and native equipment protection remain authoritative.
- Use occupancy state from the systems the hotel already runs, without exposing guest identity
- Set operating and comfort limits by zone, room state and season
- Flag or control only the points approved in the hotel’s integration matrix
FOR THE OPERATOR
Show where energy erodes the operating result.
Give the general manager one view of cost per occupied room-night, high-load operating zones, comfort exceptions and open action - without asking engineering and finance for separate explanations.
- Track energy cost against occupancy
- Separate kitchen, laundry, spa, pool and central-plant performance
- Report verified actions and normalised outcomes to the owner and brand
ALWAYS WATCHING
Catch the empty-space cost before guests ever feel it.
Volts watches low season, empty wings and quiet hours for loads that no longer match occupancy. Each exception arrives with the zone, readings and proposed next step - not a command that ignores comfort.
- Flag floors conditioned outside their approved occupancy schedule
- Detect persistent hot-water, pool or laundry flow that deserves investigation
- Explain month-on-month change with the exact zones and readings used
WHY VOLTS
Keep the hotel operating. Add only the missing layer.
Volts connects supported meters, BMS and property systems already on site, then adds selective retrofit measurement, cross-property workflows and traceable performance evidence.
From meter to invoice
The same platform that reads the meter allocates the cost and issues the tenant invoice. No exports, no spreadsheet in between.
Savings you can audit
Weather-normalised baselines show what changed because of you, not the weather. The numbers hold up in an ISO 50001 audit.
What this means in practice
- Survey existing systems without taking guest rooms out of service by default.
- Keep occupancy data aggregated to the minimum operational detail required.
- Verify savings while holding the agreed comfort conditions constant.
FAQ
Hotel energy management with comfort as the guardrail.
Do we need a meter in every room?
Usually not. Start with the wings, floors and operating zones that can change a decision. Room-level metering is added only where the business case, infrastructure and privacy design justify it.
Will the system be visible to guests?
Retrofit equipment is normally placed in technical areas, and the work locations, outage windows and any room access are agreed during the survey. No zero-disruption promise should be made before survey.
Can schedules follow occupancy from the PMS?
Where a supported PMS or approved interface supplies an occupancy state, Volts can act on it at zone or floor level. Guest identity is not required for zone control.
Do we replace the hotel’s existing BMS?
No. Volts can connect above a supported BMS and retrofit selected gaps. Point ownership and local safety controls are defined before any write-enabled workflow is commissioned.
How do you protect guest comfort while reducing consumption?
Every schedule and approved action stays within the comfort bands the hotel sets. The result is evaluated against both energy and comfort evidence.
What guest or occupancy data does Volts store?
The integration uses occupancy state only - the minimum needed for the operating decision, and never guest identity.
Can restaurants, spas or concessions be billed separately?
Yes, where each area has a suitable meter and a documented commercial rule. The charge can retain the reading, tariff and period used in the calculation.
Can we compare hotels with different weather and occupancy?
Volts can normalise for weather, occupied rooms and operating hours. Comparisons must show data coverage and model confidence rather than hide them in a portfolio average.
