Managing Climate Control for Hotels, Airbnbs

Providing a comfortable stay for guests while maintaining energy efficiency is one of the greatest challenges in the hospitality industry. Whether you’re managing a hotel, Airbnb, or boutique zimmer, Sensibo Airbend offers the perfect balance between guest comfort and operational efficiency. With features like door sensors, room sensors, and the Sensibo Remote, you can ensure seamless climate control while keeping energy costs under control.

The Hospitality Climate Control Challenge

  1. Energy Waste:

    • Guests may leave ACs running when rooms are unoccupied or windows are left open
    • Maintaining comfort in multiple rooms, especially during high occupancy, can lead to excessive energy use

  2. Guest Experience:

    • Guests expect an easy way to control room temperature without compromising their comfort
    • Overly restrictive settings can lead to dissatisfaction

  3. Operational Complexity:

    • Managing devices across multiple rooms, each with unique needs, can be time-consuming
    • Monitoring room conditions and responding to issues quickly is critical

How Sensibo Airbend Transforms Hospitality Climate Control

1. Maximize Energy Efficiency with Door and Room Sensors

Sensibo’s door sensor and room sensor are designed to reduce energy waste while maintaining comfort:

  • Door Sensor (Window Sensor):

    • Automatically turns off the AC when a door or window is left open for a specific duration
    • Can be paired with multiple sensors in a room to monitor all doors and windows
    • Example: If a guest leaves a balcony door open for more than 2 minutes, the AC shuts off. When the door is closed, the AC resumes its previous settings

  • Room Sensor (Presence React):

    • Detects motion to determine if the room is occupied
    • Turns off the AC when the room is empty, resuming operation when the guest returns

Benefit: Combines automated responses to reduce energy waste while ensuring rooms are cooled or heated only when needed.

2. Guest-Friendly Control with the Sensibo Remote

The Sensibo Remote gives guests easy control over their room’s air conditioning without compromising energy efficiency:

  • Customizable Temperature Limits:

    • Guests can adjust the temperature within predefined limits (e.g., 21°C - 26°C)
    • Prevents guests from setting temperatures too low or too high, reducing energy consumption

  • Simple and Intuitive:

    • The Sensibo Remote is easy to use, ensuring a positive experience for guests of all ages

Benefit: Empowers guests to personalize their comfort while maintaining operational control and energy savings.

3. Streamline Management Across Multiple Rooms

Managing HVAC systems for multiple rooms or units becomes effortless with Sensibo Airbend:

  • Room-Specific Policies:

    • Use Scheduling to power on ACs before check-in and off after checkout
    • Apply Temperature Limits to maintain consistent settings across all rooms

  • Real-Time Monitoring with the Dashboard:

    • Quickly identify rooms with open doors, offline devices, or unusual temperature readings
    • Example: Spot a room with high energy consumption and investigate if windows are open or if the AC is malfunctioning

  • Bulk Management with Tags:

    • Group devices by tags such as “Deluxe Rooms”, “Family Suites”, or “Private Cabins” to apply policies in bulk

Benefit: Simplifies HVAC management for large properties or multiple units, saving time and reducing complexity.
