Sept. 30, 2014 — WiSuite, a leading provider of guest room energy management systems, proudly announces that the iconic Hilton San Francisco Union Square has selected the WiSuite system to achieve significant reductions in energy consumption.
By installing the WiSuite system into its 1,915 guest rooms, this award-winning hotel is setting a new standard in guest comfort and energy efficiency.
With the hotel averaging 98 percent occupancy, WiSuite completed the massive installation in three weeks. Room revenue was not sacrificed, as no guest rooms were taken offline during this thermostat upgrade.
As part of the installation and commissioning process, WiSuite provided a building savings profile that uses guest occupancy patterns. To maximize energy savings and return on investment, the WiSuite system was interfaced to the existing Property Management System (PMS). WiSuite consistently reduces energy consumption and run-time by 35 to 45 percent while maintaining room comfort.
"The installation at Hilton San Francisco Union Square was carefully choreographed beforehand," said WiSuite's president, John Gallant. "Our aim in every installation is to ensure that operations for the hotel go uninterrupted while we put the system in place."
Hotel owners and operators are constantly seeking new, cutting-edge technologies that help reduce energy consumption, improve their bottom line, and green their building, all while exceeding the expectations of their clientele. Hilton San Francisco Union Square selected the WiSuite system because it addressed the facility's triple bottom line initiative and provided proven trackable results.
“The WiSuite thermostats offered an attractive ROI with flexible software and an easy to use touch screen," said Brian Mork, the hotel's director of property operations.
