Latin America. Honeywell recently announced the launch of INNCOM Direct, an intuitive and easy-to-install energy management system that uses automation to help improve energy and operational efficiency in mid-segment hotel properties.
With a focus on a growing and high-demand market in Latin America, INNCOM Direct enables this hotel segment to manage its HVAC systems by optimizing its energy consumption efficiently during periods when rooms are unoccupied.
"As hotels become more aware of the impact of carbon footprint, they are taking significant steps to reduce these on the environment," said Neove Pipper, general manager of Honeywell Building Automation in Latin America. "Until now, hotels in the mid-segment had limited options to optimally manage and automate their HVAC systems. Now, INNCOM Direct is leveling the playing field with an affordable, cloud-based energy management system."
For a long time, INNCOM technology was only available to high-end hotel operators. Now, this combination of hardware, software, and cloud monitoring provides mid-range hotels with an intuitive energy management system that offers quick setup and access to dashboards that make it easy to analyze and monitor hotel properties from any mobile device that can be used for a single property or a broad portfolio of hotels.
Since empty rooms and common areas do not require the same level of heating or cooling, INNCOM Direct uses a proprietary sensing system that identifies empty spaces to automatically adjust the temperature without affecting guest comfort. Similarly, non-rented rooms can be set up with a specific setting that allows you to heat or cool to a more comfortable temperature once a guest checks in. If a guest leaves a room for an extended time, INNCOM Direct may change the temperature to a more eco-friendly one, which will then be automatically adjusted when the guest returns to the room.
"Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Caribbean and Colombia join this great launch of INNCOM Direct to change and help hotels in the medium segment to generate savings in their energy consumption and optimize their operational efficiency through automation, formalizing the arrival of this innovative solution to the Latin American market to provide the best of technology within reach in the region before the end of 2024" – Pipper announced.
