TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The inability to satisfactorily control room temperature is a common guest complaint. At the same time, poorly regulated heating and cooling costs properties money - especially at a time of unpredictable energy prices.
INNCOM e4™ Smart Digital Thermostats save energy by initiating and maintaining temperature setbacks when the guestrooms are rented but unoccupied and even deeper setbacks when the rooms are unrented. ASHRAE studies have shown that for every degree of setback, approximately 3% of the energy used to heat or cool the room is saved. A comprehensive INNCOM Energy Management System will typically reduce heating and air conditioning run times by 20 - 30%. INNCOM integrated devices are also capable of managing green climate control methods, such as underfloor heating/cooling and time-of-day/season-driven drape control.
While a mechanical thermostat may over-shoot the target temperature and swing between heating and cooling as it attempts to correct itself, the e4 uses direct digital control (DDC) technology for extremely accurate temperature control. This precision not only conserves energy, it quickly attains and maintains a comfortable setting for the guest.
For your guests' convenience, we offer a broad selection of interface devices: temperature can be controlled from not only the wall thermostat, but from wall- or furniture-mounted switches, tabletop and bedside controls, or even the guestroom television. And, depending on your needs, INNCOM temperature control devices can be expanded to include added functionality, such as lighting controls, privacy requests, or the patented ecoMODE® option. Because choice is key to finding the perfect solution, INNCOM control devices are available in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes, including some, like the Glass Series and Designer Series, that can be fully custom-designed to complement guestroom décor.
