Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Background
Hotel is a commercial organization that provides accommodation, meals and others
services for tourists and travelers. The major focus of hotel management is to provide a
comfortable living space with minimal cost. In order to increase economic efficiency of a
hotel, hotel owners need to extend huge business projects, increase passengers flow and
subdivided categories, by other hand, daily services of the hotel shall be checked to
minimize costs (Wang et al., 2014). Moreover, energy disbursement and human cost
constitutes a significant-component of the operational cost of a hotel. In general, hotel
energy consumption is more than 1 million 300 thousand KH i.e. Kilowatt-hours with
minimum 1 million five hundred-kilowatt hours according to authoritative statistical data.
The power consumption of 5-star hotel is even more significant. Generally, air
conditioning systems consume the largest amount of energy in a hotel, followed by hot
water service and lighting consumption (Luo et al., 2012).
1.2 Aims and Objectives
This article focuses on the energy consumption of a hotel. It aims to provide the latest
view of the global status trend and to introduce environmentally friendly and renewable
measures to manage a hotel. Emphasizing the necessity for use of the renewable energy
or technologies, lighting and heating as well as passive cooling strategies are used to meet
the complicated energy needs of hotel buildings as well as other facilities (Lu et al.,
2014). Researches show that the progress and procedure of the sustainable hotels require
the nearby and regular cooperation of architects, space planners, construction and service
engineers, mechanical systems engineers and multidisciplinary experts such as
environment and engineers. Marketing experts, preferably in the design and forecasting
stage, are also required for a well-planned, considered and functioned hotel facility that
provide considerable environmental too socio-cultural benefits and sustainable business
opportunities (Liu and Huang, 2011).

Chapter 2: Literature review
Accordingly, to the Global Tourism Advisory Committee, 11% of global GDP comes
from single of the largest tourism trades in world (Wang, 2012). 200 million occupations
have been created globally. According to the China Environment Project, tourism is an
important part of the tourism industry. According to the World Leisure industry, as an
important part of the tourism industry, the hotel commerce has its individual reasons for
environmental protection for the reason that it is unique from the main resources of the
industry. Most hotels are addicted to many environmental practices and cannot be
inspected by any particular organization (Hu, Guo and Wang, 2013). Therefore, this
industry must take self-regulatory apparatuses, such as internal environmental audits, the
implementation of environmental management scheme and some gentle of ecological
authorization. Supportable tourism is an attendant to using resources to meet the
economic, aesthetics well as social needs. It inspires the management of entirely
resources to meet the needs of the economy, society and aesthetics while promoting the
conservation of cultural, biological diversity, ecological along with life care systems. The
academic literature was extensively reviewed, highlighting the experience of hotel guests,
in particular identifying the facilities most valued by guests as well as the worth of
sustainability too the value of "going green" toward guests also hoteliers (Yang and
Zhang, 2011). It seems that to time, rare studies have attentive narrowly on the
establishing the connection between customer comfort and customer satisfaction, as well
as on the energy effectiveness as per hotel sustainability. Literature shows that in
assessing their stay, guests give priority to clean, quiet and welcoming service. Guests
will not be able to tell when staying in the room through an energy-proficient TV
otherwise lighting upgrade (Alidadi and Zadeh, 2016). In addition, in an exercise of
guests who prioritized green accommodation, the organization by the strongest green
stays believes that the main assistances of choosing green housing are savings besides
improved ecological quality. From a hotel management point of view, a sustainable
improvement is necessary.
Though, one study shows that management often does not understand the economic
assistances of sustainability procedures, which creates barriers to application. In this
examination, discovering the benefits of a national "green hotel" guarantee program
confirms that package like this would be also expensive too time consuming. Though,
2
Intelligent Technology
further enhancements and the awareness of hotel use of green practices will benefit the
country (Hananto, 2016).
Environmental managing in the lodging area started more than half a period ago because
many studies are focused on this matter. Studies of hotels in Sweden and Poland have
shown that most hotel operators (95%) have expressed a serious concern about the
environment, giving priority to the environmental issues on the national equable (Mi,
2013). In a study of the China hotel industry, 94% of the hotel executives were found
toward has taken closely forms of environmental action in the supervision and the
operation of hotels. However, although some hotels focus on environmental management
matters, it is recommended that hotel departments "show a difference in environmentally
sound willingness and action" then "the challenge is that enterprises adopt an
environmentally friendly approach." Although many hotels might show an attention in the
environment, only a rare hotel conduct the formal environmental inspections because
several managers possibly will still operate "in an old-world mindset" that does not
consider environmental values (Rosy and Ponnusamy, 2014). Therefore, the
worldwide trend is the encourage guesthouses to adopt a green approach and more and
more hotels are beginning to implement environmental practices in addition
environmental policies. The greatest common areas of action for sustainable
environmental practices include the energy conservation, waste management, and water
conservation. Considering that tourism accounts for 21% of the total carbon dioxide
emissions from tourism, the accommodation part has been recognized as a significant
sector for tourism to improve energy consumption (Shen, 2013). Research confirms
that guesthouses are related with the major energy consumption compared to wholly other
accommodations else those hotel sector CO2 emissions could grow 170% in 2035. As a
result, the huge growing in the hospitality industry has greatly exaggerated the
environment on the global level also the sector's particular impact on over-consumption
of the energy. The reduction in hotel energy consumption can significantly diminish
carbon emissions, thereby reducing the negative impact of greenhouse gas emissions on
the industry.

Chapter 3: Methodology
The report is studied through literature reviews as well as expert interviews. Literature
reviews include reports, articles and the case studies. Interviewed experts include utility
project managers, smart technology constructors and intelligent building experts. We
develop our conclusions and recommendations based on the reported data, statistics,
facts, as well as anecdotal evidence (Yang, 2013). Our research focuses on current
commercial buildings, together with offices, retail, education, laboratories, healthcare and
hotels. Do not emphasize new residential and commercial buildings. Multi-family
buildings are not clearly included in the space of this article, but numerous of energy-
saving advantages of intelligent buildings can be applied to the public areas of multi-
family homes. Our study examines a large number of occupied buildings, so does not
include data centres as well as warehouses. Although large-scale hotel buildings account
for only 2% of the commercial buildings in China, they account for closely 35 percent of
the total floor area of commercial buildings in China and are more possibly to be
equipped with intelligent building know-how components than small-scale buildings.
Nevertheless, we place more emphasis on the small as well as medium-sized buildings as
they signify nearly 98 percent of commercial buildings in China, often lacking intelligent
building technology; they consequently represent a great opportunity.
The scope of this article is for the entire hotels of China, including half of the buildings
over the age of 35 and the half of new hotel buildings (built since 1980). The age of the
building is closely related to the type of construction and the equipment installed, which
has an impact on the type of building information which can be gathered in addition on
the procedures, which can become smart. Every U.S. area is involved in our study
Control of Temperature Using PID Controller. (2015). International Journal of Science
and Research (IJSR), 5(5), pp.1203-1206. South has largest commercial buildings (about
40% of entire stock), although the western and central and western regions. The hotels
counted in the examination are selected based on the 1-star - 5-star hotel rating as
assessed by the China Tourism Rating Board (TGCC). The study identified an overall
142-star accommodation facility. The study included a survey of all-star hotels, so a
whole of 142 hotel managers. The study obtained the response rate of the 60 hotels.
Starting from this complex background, this study proposes a method that combines
energy efficiency post-occupancy assessment with the occupant's attitude assessment in
4
Intelligent Technology
order to formulate energy-saving operating strategies for complex existing buildings. The
survey criteria include the belief that construction services and hotspot functions are often
far from predicting during the design phase, especially in complex multi-purpose
buildings where such buildings are highly subject to highly varying attitudes [27]. Only
equipment commissioning is not sufficient to guarantee the best energy efficiency
potential and residents' satisfaction. In addition, even if continuous commissioning is a
strategic procedure to maintain the correct functioning of HVAC equipment, only
technical monitoring is still insufficient to address the maximum potential for energy
savings while maintaining passenger satisfaction. Therefore, the needs of residents and
the schedule of their activities should be taken into account. Based on the effective
construction requirements during their useful life, the interactive post-residential control
procedures are elaborated.
The "Intelligent Building Design Standard" (GB / T50314-2006) defines intelligent
buildings as "building platforms, facilities and information systems, information
applications systems, construction equipment management systems, public security
system structures, systems, services, etc. The combination of management and
optimization is Integrate, provide safe, efficient, convenient, energy-saving,
environmental protection and healthy building environment. Through the comprehensive
application of advanced technologies such as computer technology, information
technology, communication technology, automatic control technology and construction
technology, automatic monitoring and efficient management of construction equipment
can be realized. , Reduce building energy consumption, improve building comfort, etc.
The formula for calculating the cooling load of energy saving system is:
6.3/tstrCQ
In the formula: Q for hourly energy saving system kW ; C for the specific heat
capacity of water CkgkJ o/ ; for the quality of frozen water flow; hkg / ’ trts、
,respectively, chilled water supply and backwater flow.
A survey is conducted to measure how application of Intelligent Technology used in the
Hotel Energy Saving. Conduct surveys to measure the application of smart technologies
in hotel energy conservation. By collecting all the data and organizing the main results,
this proposed survey enables us to understand: (i) a general understanding of the
5

characteristics of the thermoacoustic lighting in the space with the most visited hotels; (ii)
possible dissatisfaction and related causes; (iv) The main activities used by each
participant.

Chapter 4: Demand examination of IT in hotel
Energy conservation
The "Intelligent Building structure Standards" (GB - T50314-2006) promulgated by
China defines intelligent buildings as building platforms, and information system skills,
information utilization systems public security systems and building management
systems. It occluded structure, service, system, and management to capitalize efficient,
acceptable, secure, power saving, environment-friendly and healthy building atmosphere
for people (An Energy Efficient WSN through Watchdog Optimization, 2016). From the
beginning to the end the comprehensive usage of advanced technologies such as
computer techniques, information skills, automatic control techniques, communication
technology, and construction technology, it can realize effective management and
automatic monitoring of construction tools, cut down building power consumption and
enhance building comfort. The status of the hotel operations and the status quo analysis,
hotel business in the usage of intelligent techniques requires the following features.
Firstly, provide a guest with quality services are basic requirements of hotel (Rasool et
al., 2013). To assure customer satisfaction with the important services, the hotel must
have excellent personal, efficient and convenient services. Therefore, the use of
intelligent techniques can meet requirement of different levels of customers, improve
customer satisfaction with hotel services, and continuously improve the hotel's economic
benefits. Secondly, the use of intelligent skills in hotel business can notice the rational use
of human resource cost, which can reduce employment and improve service efficiency;
decrease human resources cost and reduce the operation of hotel. Thirdly, the uses of
intelligent skills can minimize power consumption and assure that the hotel business
system has energy-saving intelligence techniques to control humidity, brightness, time,
temperature and speed, which can successfully decrease useless power consumption in
hotel operation, which stay away from wasting reservoir. Fourth, use of intelligent skills
can improve the security of hotel business should be an intelligent system. The universal
intelligent system has a high-security system (Enhanced Retreat of Cloud Storage Data
users by Using Improved Data Access Control Scheme for Multi-Authority Cloud
Storage, 2015).

Power module ICs integrate the PWM controller, inductor, power MOSFETs and passive
components into one small package for high-efficiency power conversion. With only a
few input and output caps needed to build a complete power supply, power module ICs
make the design of power supply simple and easy. By using power modules to power
various rails with less PCB area, system designers can develop compact electronic
products with small factors or add more features to the products with the same size.
Faster time to market for new product development can also achieve as system designers
free themselves from complex power, supply design and focus on implementing critical
features related to product value.

control command indirectly to control function & equipment room of the passenger.
A. C A N Bus
CAN bus
The Controller area bus is also used as Fieldbus in general automation environment,
primarily due to the low cost of some CAN controller and processors. The key to this
system is choosing a suitable communications bus. The choice of bus communication not
only to meet system response time, data volume, reliability, stability and other factors but
also consider the product cost factors and user costs, so choose the CAN bus.

B. Watchdog
The action of restarting the guard dog clock is for the most part alluded to "kicking pooch
"friendlier "pet canine" or "stroke puppy", and another comparative term; it is regularly
finished with keeping in touch with guard dog port (Wang and Chen, 2004). In
microcontrollers, which have a guard dog clock, the guard dog is few times kicked by
executing a machine dialect unique direction. (Clear clock) direction discovers in the
guideline set in PIC controller this CLRWDT. PCs that are working framework is for the
most part summoned through a gadget driver. The Linux working project framework will
kick guard dog by interfacing with guard dog driver, by composing zero characters to the
guard dog (Ma et al., 2008). Gadget driver, that serves dynamic guard dog equipment by
customer space programs, is utilized to figure time-out length, stop, and begin clock.
Guard dog clocks use in the numerous designs, and enable the setups to change.
Microcontrollers frequently alongside an incorporated, on-chip guard dog. Different PCs,
the guard dog can dwell in the adjacent chip, which associates straightforwardly from
CPU, and it can be put on an outer card of PC's skeleton. Guard dog and the CPU can
share normal clock flag, portrayed in square chart 3.12, or they would independent be
able to clock signals.

multistage guard dog, the individual clock can have its own opportunity interim.
5.1.8 Multistage watchdog
Numerous clocks are fell to plan the multistage guard dog clock, and every clock is
alluded the clock organize and essentially the stage. In multistage watchdog, the
processor kicks the primary stage as it were. In the primary phase of the timeout, remedial
activity can start. The following phase of the course is started (Pojasek, 2008). Each
consequent advance circumstances out triggers restorative activity has begun following
stage. In the last phase of the timeout, restorative activity is started and no other stage is
started because the finish of course has reached. Circuit configuration is spoken to in

is not executed, system cannot execute new output. If last output executed, system cannot
able to execute output until last output is completed (Chen and Venkataramani, 2016).
5.3 The Interface protocol
This protocol has to main two parts: CAN communication and RS232 communication in
the RS232 communication module protocol andRS232 interface among the
communication module protocol is main interface among the system communication and
external in the communication (PC, empty), you should follow the actual use of the
protocol and module communication (Malburg, Finder and Fey, 2016).

Interface Protocol
PC instruction for RCU protocol includes following:
(a) Frame of address setting
Format setting of address frame is representing in the Table 3.1 below.
When we know protocol serial number, we can send the data and set command to
host on network by serial port, host should give reply to command.
Host has four feedback commands: module protocol has executing other
command/module command execution is successful / no module protocol module
response timeout (Nagarajan et al., 2011).
Byte 0 is command identification code, (same as the following table), users
identify the command. If instruction sets according to the instruction of address frame,
correct format is verified after command length packet is received, then the module
determines the module set according to production sequence. If yes, set node address of
the data carried (Sangat, Indrawan-Santiago and Taniar, 2017).
C. online protocol query instruction
Online protocol query command format represent in the table 3.2.

Intelligent Technology
Primary function of online module inquiry instruction is inquiring CAN bus shown in
table 3.2, which is connect to multiple modules at it the time to get serial number & the
node of online module address (Kanaga and Aung, 2015).
D. Module number trigger command
Module's serial number trigger command sends a serial number products to the module
connected to serial port. Every module can record the product of serial number. In
addition, Serial number primary used for query product details, such as device type and
configuration, etc., for facilitate service. Serial number instruction shown in the Table 3.3
The instruction contains 11 bytes. First byte is instruction identifier. Second byte is
indicated high instruction change & explains slave machine about desire bytes needs to
the handle. Third byte is tenth byte of serial number production (Enhanced Retreat of
Cloud Storage Data users by Using Improved Data Access Control Scheme for Multi-

When PC Machine transmits instructions to RCU, RCU have to respond to command sent
by machine of PC.
5.3.1 The CAN communication protocol
Robert Bosch GmbH built up the Controller Area Network. The Bosch CAN turned into
an ISO standard in 1993 (CAN 2.0A), stretched out in 1995 permit longer identifiers
gadget (CAN 2.0B). CAN interface system of convention (or hubs) utilized by two wire,
match link. Diverse organizations apply CAN gadgets. In Free scale MPC arrangement
processors, CAN gadget likewise called Toucan module; In MPC 55xx arrangement,
known as Flex CAN. CAN is serial, multitasker, convention, that implies when transport
is free, singular hub sends message (multitasked), whole hubs can get and follow up on
multicast message. Hub that starts message is called transmitter; hub not communicates
something specific known a collector. The messages are allocated needs, a transmitting
module will remain transmitter until the point that transport ends up noticeably
reasonable or until a hub with higher need information through a procedure known as
assertion supersedes [24]. CAN message can contain 8 bytes information (Enhanced
Retreat of Cloud Storage Data users by Using Improved Data Access Control Scheme for
Multi-Authority Cloud Storage, 2015). Message portrays information content is
accustomed to getting hubs by decide goal on organize.
5.4 Data storage
The point of information stockpiling gadgets is to hold data notwithstanding when the PC
is off so data can utilize when required. Capacity includes composing information to the
25
Intelligent Technology
medium and perusing from the medium. Composing information recording the
information on the surface of the circle where it is put away for later utilizes. Diskette
drives, hard drives, and tape drive all utilization a similar sort of medium utilize
comparable systems for perusing/composing information. Surfaces of diskettes and
attractive tape are cover with an attractively delicate material, for example, press oxide.
The chief use to store information is that of polarization – every one of the particles in the
attractive material adjust themselves one way (Wang and Chen, 2004). Similarly, as a
transistor can speak to paired "on" or "off", the introduction of the attractive field can use
to speak to information. A magnet has one imperative favorable position over a transistor
it can keep up its state without a persistent supply of power. Generally, the most essential
piece of an advanced PC is the focal handling unit (CPU or, basically, a processor), since
it really works on information, performs computations, and controls the various parts.
Without a memory, a PC would just have the capacity to perform settled operations and
promptly yield the outcome. It would need to be reconfigured to change its conduct
(Enhanced Retreat of Cloud Storage Data users by Using Improved Data Access Control
Scheme for Multi-Authority Cloud Storage, 2015).
This is satisfactory for gadgets, for example, work area number crunchers or basic
computerized flag processors. Von Neumann machines contrast in that they have a
memory in which they store their working guidelines and information (Kanaga and Aung,
2015). Such PCs are more flexible in that they don't need their equipment reconfigured
for each new program, yet can essentially be reconstructed with new in-memory
directions. Present day PCs are von Neumann machines. Practically speaking, all PCs
26
Intelligent Technology
utilize an assortment of memory sorts, composed in a capacity progressive system around
the CPU, as an exchange off amongst execution and cost. For the most part, the lower a
capacity is in the order, the lesser its transmission capacity (the measure of exchanged
information per time unit) and the more noteworthy its dormancy (an opportunity to get
to a specific stockpiling area) is from the CPU. This customary division of capacity to
essential, auxiliary, tertiary and disconnected stockpiling is likewise guided by fetched
per bit (Sangat, Indrawan-Santiago and Taniar, 2017). Essential stockpiling (or principle
memory, or inner memory), frequently alluded to just as memory, is the just a single
specifically open to the CPU. The CPU ceaselessly peruses directions put away there and
executes them as required. Any information effectively worked on is additionally put
away there in uniform way.
5.5 Debugging System
Debugging, in the PC programming building, is the multistep procedure, which includes
recognizing the issue, confining the wellspring of the issue, and after that amending the
issue and deciding a path to the work around the errand (Nagarajan et al., 2011). The final
step in debugging is the test correction work around and makes fix it works. Debugging
parted in two parts: software and hardware debugging. Debugging part of the main
system energy supply module, input & output modules and CAN interface & RS232
interfacing debugging. Software debugging section has hardware part, with system
software, between controller room and A.C controller RS485 communication module
debugging.
Debugging process
In the product advancement, the investigating is finding, revising the code mistakes in a
PC program. This Debugging is the piece of programming testing process it is an
indispensable piece of entire programming improvement framework. Troubleshooting
process filling in as code composed and in progressive request organizes as the code is
added to another unit of the program to plan a product item. In the enormous program,
that is thousands and many lines code, troubleshooting procedure may make simpler with
utilization of systems. For instance, unit tests, combine programming, and code review.
27
Intelligent Technology
5.5.1 Hardware Debugging
Mixed media utilizes trade high proportion of the messages, which are not deterministic
in nature. Along these lines, that is not anything but difficult to reproduce the entire
application use in the sensible and adequate measure of the time. The application may not
recreate, the rationale analyzer might be utilized to screen, on the chip, application.
Therefore, the rationale identifier works at the physical level of giving the colossal
volume of the data. A perfect arrangement implies is work at the more elevated amount in
the reflection and the record just conduct of utilization, not operation of hidden
framework. A following on-contribute the equipment debugger signified as a sniffer,
which is an answer one can adjust to giving the apparatus to the troubleshooting
equipment blame in an application (Malburg, Finder and Fey, 2016).
28
Intelligent Technology

A sniffer is the system screen gear that catches data bundles and disentangles them by
utilizing the implicit the information of a module conventions. A sniffer grants us to see
and envision messages transmits over system inside a FPGA. That choice includes and
joined with whole equipment improvement instrument and gear. strategies would enough
be able to affectionate if the equipment forms are accepting and the sending parcels
anticipated. The one of a kind coherent identifier has alloted to each errand, its free of in
execution area (equipment or programming). At the point when An OS4RS plans the
errand in the equipment, the address interpretation proportion table is recharged and
refreshed. sensible address allows a working framework to the make an interpretation of
the coherent address into the physical address the other way around. Correspondence
between the product undertaking and the assignment running in FPGA is going by an
equipment reflection layer. this case is demonstrates the interpretation of a coherent
29
Intelligent Technology
address and a physical address has performed by the working framework. At the point
when the equipment assignment transmits the message to another undertaking, the sender
makes an impression on a legitimate port, that is coherently associated with the
consumer.In each tile, the Destination Look upon Table (DLT) interprets that intelligent
goal with a physical goal which runs a beneficiary errand.
Figure 3.16 lower circuit board
Figure3.17 Power module circuit board
Each time the new undertaking is a place for expelled or the rescheduled, a working
framework is a charge that can change these DLTs to keeping up the rationality of the
correspondence. Equipment sniffer allows us to choose and pick a tile and the port to
sniff. Sniffer makes the reinforcement of an influenced DLT and changes to constrain an
30
Intelligent Technology
errand to send the message to the working framework.
Figure 3.18 Power module structure
By compelling DLT with the uncommon assignment, perceive to send messages to the
working framework, so we can make a similar data by duplicate the messages in a cradle,
after this with data put away in reinforcement DLT, send t message to genuine goal
venture. Equipment sniffer is a piece of portion module this can control FPGA and
includes 237 (more than 1085) line C code and the 5 kb (more than 22 kb) at the module.
That execution cannot utilize equipment assets however it expands correspondence over
the system when changes Destination Look on the Table present in each switch and the
sending messages initially to interface tile OS. Here they are duplicated of the first goal.
The capacity of a debugger to control execution of process depends.

fixed. Along these lines, when single-venturing CPU executes a guideline. At that point, it
causes the trap back to OS and debugger reports that a solitary advance is finished. in the
move in bearing of limiting guideline set (RISC) CPUs in the cell phones, the tablets and
in some unrivaled PCs, the equipment bolster the single step has vanishing. It is not the
huge issue for the idea of the debuggers, this is actually single step has not required. The
debugger can reenact single step through interpreting much direction at current program
information counter and set the breakpoint on next guideline level, causing of a fixed
procedure to the stop at next guideline.
5.5.2 Software Debugging
In the Software debugging includes debugging with the hardware functions. It is a general
process of removing and establishing computer program errors and bugs, which are
managed by programmers of software.
32

In software development, the debugging is an inherently iterative. General development
is realizing in complex projects. The development can be iterative in general parted in
few main stages. Can that is not a section of debugging, but this is very important this is
included by I. You can get require detail from user possible: OS version, product version,
and entire conditions required in reproduce bug. Get the program depiction when bug
show up. Endeavour to produce bug and catch state (records as well as factors). At times
it is basic. The program accidents can change to the debugger to watch the issue. We can
come back to 1 of every couple of cases or you can return here to following stage.
Methods you can utilize incorporate a bug requiring a look for its source, starting point:
Methods are as following:
1. Tracing from last minutes
2. Tracing of where state segments can utilize and changed
3. Tracing with the not comparable info information

Before IT: From the analysis of the actual and current situation of hotel operation, hotel
management in the application of intelligent technology demands the following aspects.
First, to provide customers with high quality service is the basic requirement for the hotel.
To ensure the customer’s satisfaction to the service is necessary, and the hotel should have
outstanding personalized, convenient and efficient service.
After IT: Therefore, the application of intelligent technology can meet the needs of
customers at different levels, and to enhance customer satisfaction to hotel service, and
constantly improve the economic benefits of the hotel. Second, the application of
intelligent technology in hotel management can realize the rational utilization of human
resources cost, which not only can reduce the number of people with jobs, but also
improve effective service, and reduce the cost of human resources at the same time so as
to reduce the hotel operation. Third, the application of intelligent technology can reduce
the energy consumption and ensure hotel management system owns energy efficient
intelligent technology to control the time, temperature, humidity, speed and brightness,
which can effectively reduce the unnecessary energy consumption of hotel operation, and
avoid the waste of resources.

efficient management and construction equipment, decrease building power consumption
and better the Building comfort and so on.
6.1 HVAC system’s power saving control
Ventilation, heating and A.C HVAC is a system of environment comfort. Stated on
average, hotel power consumption ratio: HVAC, large central A.C system cooling source,
fan coil system-wide end of the system plus the fresh air of system) 40 to 50% of
consumption of lighting consumption.
Figure 3.25 Basic HVAC systems
HVAC system
Accounting for the 20-30% of drainage equipment and water supply accounted for 10 to
15%, another mechanical & the electrical equipment accounted for 15 to 20%. Obviously,
HVAC system energy consumption is entire building electricity consumption. Therefore,
40
Intelligent Technology
power saving design of the A.C system is the reasonable whether the entire building must
achieve the key energy-saving goals.
6.1.1 Refrigeration unit’s power saving control
As the power consumption of heat and source tools occupies a huge proportion of A.C
system, minimize power consumption is among the important aspects of the power-
saving A.C system. Individual types of the projects load characteristics are different. The
big load carrying capacity of a hotel building usually occurs at the dusk or at night; chiller
configuration is not only meet the huge load requirements but also to match some loads.
Cold source of group control skill, efficiency of refrigeration unit that can maximize and
the energy waste caused by operation of redundant cold-water unit can avoid. Formula to
calculating cooling load of the air conditioning mentioned below:
6.3/tstrCQ
In the case of the full load of operation, total A.C system cooling capacity to meet the
cooling loads, to avoid energy waste, to save energy. Through adjusting the operating
status of the host, increasing the cooling efficiency and minimize the power consumption
of energy saving and cooling pump of water can achieve in a single unit.
6.1.2 Chilled water pump’s power saving control
If you use chilled pump water and a different pressure bypass system, adjust setting of the
different pressure bypass valve and number of chilled water pumps to minimize energy
consumption, according to the chiller operation. Meet current job stress &cool the water
flow.
6.1.3 Cooling tower’s power saving control
Number of the cooling towers use is depends on the cooler's cooling the water
temperature requirements. When cooling tower running temperature is more than set
temperature, open the cooling tower. The cooling tower can stop when cooling tower
running temperature can below-set temperature. If cooling of tower can uses 2-speed
motor, number of the running working cooling towers can also be determined in
conjunction along high-low speed transitions.
When outdoor temperature set on low, itself cooling of cooling water the circuit to meet
the chiller requirements of cooling water temperature, cooling tower fan not require to

open. By the running & minimum numbers of units to control cooling the water pump
cooling water’s flow & temperature requirements, thereby reducing energy consumption.
6.1.4 Air handling unit’s power saving control
According to "Structure Standard for Electricity Efficiency of Commercial sites"
(GB50189-2005), the A.C system must be adopted whole A.C system instead of the fan
disk in the huge rooms or spaces and in air-conditioned areas where many personnel or
centralized control of the temperature & humidity are required Tube system. So, hotel
building of the lobby and large conference room, banquet hall and another huge public
places often use the air handler to achieve the power-saving effect. Air processor system
mode will flexibly adjust proportion of updated return air; in transitional season has
achieved the supply of fresh, to save energy.
Fig 3.26: Air handling unit
The temperature is less than indoor air temperature. & outdoor fresh air will be use as the
natural indoor cooling source, rather than refrigerant coolant. Shorten the cooling of the
annual run time. Through the air handler air vents and buildings to set temperature &
humidity sensors, the use of command equipment monitoring skills &technology to detect
indoor and outdoor temperature & the humidity, indoor & outdoor ratio of air calculation,
automatic control of fresh air reflux ratio, and always maintain the efficient operation of
air handler State, reduce power consumption.

6.3 Guest room system power saving control
The hotel guest rooms are longest time guests stay, a direct impact on the guests stay
experience & evaluation of hotel rooms. Therefore, the power saving control room system
must base on comfort, both to meet the comfort requirements of customers, but also to
minimize energy consumption, reduce waste of resources, control the hotel's operating
costs. Room control system according to the status of the room decided to take what kind
of control strategy, that check-in, rental, availability, check-out, maintenance, cleaning,
room control service should be with hotel business system.
6.2 Lighting control
The room control system should control completely lighting circuits in room with a key
and set lighting circuit to open &close the automatic control. Brightness of light in many
scene modes, for example occupancy, rest, reading, entertainment& another different
protocol for guests' convenience Control the room and get the best light and energy
savings in different situations. In addition, with infrared sensors and luminance sensors,
the room control system determines the activity of guests and the intensity of natural
light. Automatically shut down the hotel non-activity area lights, indoor lighting
brightness adjustment, to achieve the purpose of comfort and energy saving.
43
Intelligent Technology
6.2.1 Window status inspection and room curtain control
As mentioned above, when the air conditioner is lower by 1 ° C, the energy consumption
will increase by 5-8%. Similarly, in the case of cooling or heating, the indoor temperature
is higher or lower than 1 will produce more energy consumption of air conditioning.℃
The enclosed room can add insulation. In the absence of room curtains and without
curtains, the room curtains closed, the room control system is not closed, the remote
control room curtains closed, the room control system can be remote curtains to make the
room temperature in summer is lower, the winter is higher, lower Air conditioning energy
consumption.
6.2.2 Air conditioning control of room
(a) Occupancy of guest
Room air-conditioning room control skills can achieve network control. Moreover, check
the hotel front desk rooms open; wind speed, a transitional state, and room temperature
can be measured. The room air remote control through linkage with the hotel
management system. According to the state of the room is set the air conditioning project.
In order to ensure guests get the best experience, guests are mainly responsible for air
conditioning operation, in case guests from all over the country often do not understand
the most comfortable local temperature conditions will set the room temperature is too
high or too low, resulting in both Not comfortable, but also a waste of energy.
(b) Rental status waits
Because of the temperature, change has the characteristic of lag such as room temperature
comfort is low, the guest rooms at the set temperature after a certain period cannot
achieve a comfortable state. Air conditioning may be set to high or low temperature
reaches the set value will be because the temperature is not appropriate to adjust the air
conditioning in the indoor temperature setting value, so repeatedly the guests, cannot get
a comfortable temperature, but also a waste of energy.
(c) Retirement state
Room control system can be check-out 1-2 hours before or check-out time at the hotel
automatically updates, guests automatically updated without air-conditioning will be set
to the guest phone in the pattern because the temperature changes lag, the comfortable
44
Intelligent Technology
room will not be affected anyway while saving energy.
(d) Cleaning and maintenance status
The room control system can determine the status of the room and the information
entered into the room based on information set by the network or card. In the
maintenance state, according to the hotel administrator or maintenance personnel access
time set time, automatically exit the insulation mode; turn off the room air conditioning.
In clean conditions, guest rooms are kept warm while the room temperature control panel
is not authorized to control the air conditioners. Room control system can be based on the
information granted to the different control authority, to achieve the purpose of energy-
saving air-conditioning.
6.2.3 Lighting system’s power saving control
According to the hotel interior time and the use of different regions intelligent lighting
method for intelligent control of lighting are used. Natural daylight is low; lighting is
turned on, allowing natural light to be fully coordinated with the summer shade. Through
lighting testing and personnel testing and a series of lighting modes control the opening
and closing of light and glaze. Illuminate when desired to change the misuse of constant
lighting for stairs, large spaces, sidewalks halls and another public place to take light
control, voice control, timing, sensing and another power-saving control skills. Set the
time with photoelectric control or natural lighting. Garden lighting and road lighting
brightness control or time program control.
6.4 Power saving control of drainage system and drainage system
The two important frequency transformation control of pump are drainage system and
water supply. Frequency conversion control technique can save power from four aspects:
Speed requirement to save power. Frequency conversion drainage system and water
supply can cardinally arrange power supply frequency as stated in the expanse of water
run out rate. The output of water is lessened, water pump speed is lowered, and therefore
it decreases the production power of the pump. Starting current of A.C Motor: inverter
can diminish starting current by lowering the starting voltage to realize the soft start of

Chapter 7: Results & Analysis For the hotel management, preserving high standards of comfort and guest satisfaction is
the most important consideration. Energy plans that compromise visitant comfort are less
likely to be executed. However, there might be opportunities to increase guest luxury by
improving energy efficiency. E.g., room temperature, ventilation, lighting, and water
pressure in addition noise level improvements may all come from proficiency upgrades.
To analyse this potential association, the team was attracted to find out how a more
technology-efficient hotel was rated as comfortable by its guests rather than a less
technologically efficient hotel. In order to carry out this research, a contract to design as
well as investigate hotel guests is signed. In this study we analyse the statistical
significance of the results and compare them with a set of the technical data collected by
engineers at the site. According to features of the hotel building power, this paper
introduces several effective technologies for energy saving of hotel buildings, as well as a
project and actual effect in energy saving renovation. The tracking operation shows that
in the comparison and demonstration of energy-saving reform programs, the rapid rise of
government incentives and energy prices ought to be considered. This behaviour can help
enterprises to withdraw funds in advance to further enhance the passion of owners of
energy-saving and encourage the building an extensive range of energy-saving
construction technology.
All five original pilot hotels decided to investigate their guests as section of the study.
The investigation was done in breakfast room in morning. Guests completing the survey
receive a $ 5 gift card as a reward. In 1 hotel, survey was conducted on two mornings;
otherwise all the surveys were conducted at each hotel on the morning of each working
day. The Travel Centre team conducted a survey based upon previous industry research.
Guests are required to rate items from 1 to 7 (higher ratings indicate higher satisfaction)
to item ratings such as consistency and temperature control, noise level of cooling and
heating units, water temperature, ambient noise, and pressure, air quality and lighting.
Field engineers also provide a variety of technical data of various performances. These
data represent measurements of building in addition energy use, equipment efficiency,
and building performance (i.e., lumen output, CFM, water temperature, etc.). In order to
describe the specific comfort features, this field statistics is distributed as much as
possible.

In general, the satisfactions of all features of the rooms are high. The medium response
for entire categories was six or more, with the exception of a quiet environment and the
quietness of the cooling and heating units, which had a median rating of 5. When
questioned what factors influenced the hotel's selection, the most frequently identified
locations for guests, the comfort of the room Degree and price. When enquired what the
reasons for creating a relaxed stay, guests replied that bed comfort and cleanliness were
the most significant, followed by quiet. Most of the respondents (60%) defined travel as a
commercial purpose.

Energy Cost
Hotel the place that provides people with work, life, rest and entertainment, and the
quality of the living space is an important component of the hotel quality. In the hotel
management, in order to enhance economic efficiency, on the one hand, you need to
expand large business projects, subdivide categories, and enhance passenger flow. On the
other hand, you need to control the daily operation of the hotel's various operating costs.
In addition to human cost, energy expenditure increased an important part of the overall
operating costs during the operation of the hotel. According to authoritative statistical
data, the general hotel power consumption in our country is no less than 300 thousand
Kilowatt hours, and not higher than 1 million 500 thousand Kilowatt hours. High-star
hotel energy consumption is higher. In the hotel's electricity consumption, air
conditioning is major energy consumption. Hot water supply ranks second. Lighting
consumption ranks third. With the hotel industry competition, energy shortages and rising

prices cause the hotel operating costs to increase year by year. Therefore, how to ensure
that guests enjoy the comfortable, convenient and safe room on the basis of reasonable
and effective control of energy use is an imminent problem. In a sense, the maximum
energy saving and consumption reduction is to create the maximum profits for the hotel,
so that the hotel will be in a favorable position in the future market competition. So
saving energy costs and expenses, and enhances the level of hotel hardware, creating
more comfortable experience for guests. Energy efficiency measures are generally not
expected to have a negative impact on guests' health, safety or comfort. Therefore, the
implementation of specific energy-saving measures may depend to some extent on the
type of catering to guests. While lacking certain types of services/activities, or comfort
and pleasure related hotel facilities may be acceptable to a convincing ecotourism, it does
not matter for unaffected mass tourists or luxury items Say may be totally unacceptable to
the guests. Therefore, the goal of saving energy and other resources in the hospitality
sector is also a behavioral and educational task, as it is a matter of optimizing the energy
system and building structure. Therefore, educating all stakeholders, including customers,
is a basic requirement for pursuing more sustainable tourism. The same is true of
education related to environmentally sound practices and activities / services, as far as the
economy of sustainable tourism is concerned in the context of a healthy life cycle cost.
This clearly requires close cooperation between all interested groups.

Figure 3.28: Summary of Monitoring Period Energy Analysis at Hotel in China
The figure above clearly shows how this mode of cooling works: The test room consumes
less energy than the baseline room occupancy, but both rooms use less energy during their
free time, but the test-controlled room Reduce the amount of a lot more important. For
heating, the amount of energy used in the laboratory control room actually increased, but
to a much lesser extent, and less significant. When the system is in fan mode, the most
significant energy savings: in the occupation of time, energy consumption is almost
halved. In idle time, the fan's energy consumption is virtually eliminated. This seems to
be the most important impact of this technology.

The hotel rooms use advanced occupancy control systems for energy analysis. Important
energy savings have been demonstrated. Energy use is at 4 hotels, two supporting the
terminal air-conditioning unit and two fan coil unit roughly equal Traditional thermostatic
control as well as advanced control of the number of rooms.
Most of energy savings happen while idle. This is probable because control over
occupancy is nominally the similar, with the main benefit occurring when the inhabitants
disappear. Maximum commercial buildings display a rather significant linear connection
amongst daily energy usage and daily maximum or minimum temperature, but it is not
the case in many studied hotels. Personal behaviour tends to promote energy usage in
hotel rooms. In many cases, there is a more consistent relationship amongst energy use as
well as temperature in the high-level control room, indicating that the influence of
behaviour is minimized.

Chapter 8: ConclusionImprove the economy by power saving and merging the technology and
management:
Intelligent skills should be naturally united under the administration of the hotel
management, so management and technology can be merged together to assure that
buildings attain effective energy efficiency. In hotel energy saving, evolution in intelligent
skills will make a greater support. The use of intelligent techniques can meet requirement
of different levels of customers, improve customer satisfaction with hotel services, and
continuously improve the hotel's economic benefits. From the analysis of the actual and
current situation of hotel operation, hotel management in the application of intelligent
technology demands the following aspects. To provide customers with high quality
service is the basic requirement for the hotel. To ensure the customer’s satisfaction to the
service is necessary, and the hotel should have outstanding personalized, convenient and
efficient service. Therefore, the application of intelligent technology can meet the needs
of customers at different levels, and to enhance customer satisfaction to hotel service, and
constantly improve the economic benefits of the hotel. Energy organization control
systems in hotel rooms are extensively used around the world, however, their getting in
China is limited at this time. The heightened market insertion of such schemes can
significantly reduce the hotel's energy consumption. This study concludes that under the
management of hotel operations, smart technologies should also be organically integrated,
combining technology and management to ensure building energy efficiency. I believe
that the development of smart technologies will make greater contributions to hotel
energy conservation.
Future Recommendation
The hotel energy consumption reduced by the use of intelligent skills the reduction in
maintenance costs hotel operation, improvement of hotel content, and enhancement of
guest’s experience. Intelligent skills in hotel business can notice the rational use of human
resource cost, which can reduce employment and improve service efficiency; decrease
human resources cost and reduce the operation of hotel the uses of intelligent skills can
minimize power consumption and assure that the hotel business system has energy-saving
intelligence techniques to control humidity, brightness, time, temperature and speed.
