At present, more than 80% of hotels still use manual transcription to record energy consumption data, which is of more workload, less timeliness and accuracy compared with collecting data through smart system. According to the energy consumption characteristics of the hotel industry, Heyuan developed smart energy management system to formulate a personalized energy management plan to help hotels achieve improved energy management.

According to the functional division of the hotel’s building usage, there are mainly lobby, banquet hall, guest room, restaurant and meeting rooms. Due to the various types of hotel buildings, the internal energy consumption of the hotel is complicated. Its energy consumption characteristics are as follows:

In order to better serve customers and provide a comfortable environment, most large hotels adopt central air-conditioning and hot water bathing facilities, which are all energy-consuming devices that operate around the clock.

Due to industry characteristics, the cooling cycle and heating cycle of the hotel are longer than other types of buildings

The hotel has a large number of elevators, not only to ensure the safety of operation, but also are frequently used equipment.

Some hotels have their own laundry rooms, which need to provide steam and gas as energy sources.

The hotel’s catering department is an important functional department and also a high energy consumption unit.

Large hotels have a variety of functional areas, such as swimming pools, leisure centers, and business centers; these functional areas have higher energy consumption levels.
