Hotel & Leisure

The hospitality and leeisure industry can benefit immensely from utilising KNX technology. From simplifying the control of lighting in bars, restaurants and pubs to ensuring that gyms, pools and changing areas are maintained at a comfortable and energy efficient temperature.

We have all at some point in our lives sat in a restaurant whist lights flicked on and as the staff try to remember what switch out of a bank thirty turns on the lights in a particular area, a simple touch screen control would instantly alleviate the problem presenting staff with a pictorial representation of the restaurant area allowing them to directly control individual lamps if so desired - adding automation further alleviates the problem allowing the room to react to prevelant lighting conditions, occupancy levels and time and day thus ensuring that it is allways presented in a it's best light as well as keeping the energy budget under strict contol.

Installing dimmers mean that low occupancy areas are gently dimmed down to a background level then gently brought back up as guests occupy the area.

The demands of hotel guests grow with the features offered by modern communications systems. For many guests a television set as well as connections for fax and laptop in the room are simply standard features. Frequently such equipment then remains switched on continuously, increasing the energy costs enormously. Sustainable solutions for saving power are required to limit such developments. Our answer answer to this problem is Jung's hotel card switch. As soon as a guest leaves his room and takes his hotel card out of the master switch, the desired electrical equipment is powered down. An effective method to avoid unnecessary power consumption!

KNX offers the ideal prerequisites for harmoniously combining building equipment and architecture. Because of the almost infinite range of designs availible from a number of manufacturers the complete range of equipment required to make guests feel comfortable during their stay at your hotel. The uniform appearance presented by the switches, wall receptacles and orientation elements allows consistent adaptation to the architectural and interior design concept present in the building. KNX not only looks good; the high practical benefit is also convincing. The switches with integrated indicator light are one example of this. In a dark hotel room they can be located immediately to ensure that guests can find their way around quickly in unfamiliar surroundings. The universal rotary dimmer switches can be operated with similar ease and convenience. Clearly recognisable thanks to their typical design, hotel guests can create variable light. scenarios at any time without any help from you. The selected design line can easily be continued even in moist rooms such as baths or saunasand matched to conventional switches if required.
