Energy Eye™
System
Around the world, electricity usage is one of the highest operating expenses
the hospitality industry incurs. By reducing wasted guest room electricity,
hotels and motels alike will save 30% to 50% on their electricity costs,
increase the life of their HVAC units and most importantly, increase bottom-line
profits.
The Energy Eye™ System operates with only three components:
- Wireless Passive Infrared (PIR) people detector
- Wireless Micro Door Sensor (MDS)
- HVAC Control Module (Brain)
Combined, these three components make up the most practical and effective
energy management system available for hotel/motel operators facing wasted
energy costs.
Plug and Play Installation
Instead of requiring a multitude of lengthy wires running under the carpet,
through the ceiling, doorframe and out of walls, Energy Eye™ uses advanced
wireless technology. This makes installation very simple, requiring no
construction or technical labor. The Energy Eye™ System was engineered for the
worldwide market and easily adapts to any hotel, regardless of construction or
HVAC type.
Installation can easily be accomplished by any qualified hotel staff member
between guestroom checkouts thus ensuring guest room availability. All this
translates into keeping the Energy Eye™ System's price per room at a truly low
cost leading to a quicker return on investment.
How it all works...
- The Energy Eye™ System is capable of detecting whether or not a guestroom
is occupied through information transmitted to the HVAC Control Module by our
Passive Infrared Detector and Micro Door Sensor.
- When a guestroom is occupied, the Energy Eye™ allows the guest to have
full control over all temperature settings.
- If Energy Eye™ detects an unoccupied guestroom, HVAC operation becomes
regulated by our HVAC Control Module, this initiates your energy-savings.
- Unoccupied guestroom temperatures are pre-determined by hotel/motel
management allowing control over wasted electricity usage while still
maintaining maximum guestroom comfort levels.

WASTED Energy
Costs
What is
wasted energy costing you?
Electricity is the bloodline of an operating hotel or motel; it must be
managed with great care like any other controllable expense.
Due to extraneous circumstances, the cost of electricity worldwide has risen
drastically in the past few years and will only continue to rise. Everyday
around the world guestrooms without energy management systems represent millions
of dollars in wasted electricity expense. This phenomenon is based on the simple
fact that 60% of the time an occupied room is left unattended along with that
room’s HVAC. The Energy Eye™ System allows for the ability to manage wasted
electricity costs at your facility leading to lower operating expenses and
increased revenue.
Hotel Utility Expenses
On average,
90% of wasted electricity usage comes from the guestroom, which is your
property’s most unmanaged resource. Your guestroom’s HVAC system can represent
70% - 90% of that wasted electricity resulting in thousands of dollars in lost
revenues.
