The gradual lifting of lockdowns is seeing the hotel industry bounce back into action. People are now looking towards safe and sustainable travel options.

With growing consciousness towards their ecological footprint, many individuals consider the green quotient of the hotel in their decision-making. Hotels are now moving towards the use of intelligent and innovative technology in their properties such as predictive guest room technology, smart lighting, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data-driven solutions, and green infrastructure to reduce energy consumption and enable a positive impact on the climate.

According to an industry report, HVAC systems in hotels are known to emit over 3.47 megatonnes of carbon emissions annually and consume over 40% of a building’s total energy consumption. Given this, the potential to enhance energy efficiency in hotels is huge through efficient solutions.
