SMART MANAGEMENT FOR HOSPITALITY FACILITIES
The hospitality sector presents many challenges, from energy management to personalised guest comfort. Hotels, care facilities and university campuses require flexible, specific solutions that support both occupant wellbeing and operational efficiency.
Requirements range from precise HVAC and lighting control to occupancy-based cost monitoring and security through fire-protection and intrusion-detection systems.
Data Controls addresses these challenges through integrated Building Automation solutions that centralise system management, helping reduce costs and improve sustainability.
These systems also improve environmental safety through automated, integrated fire-protection control.
OUR SERVICES FOR HOSPITALITY
INTELLIGENT MANAGEMENT OF HOTELS, CARE FACILITIES AND CAMPUSES
In hotels, care facilities and university campuses, guest and occupant comfort is essential, but achieving it efficiently and sustainably can be complex.
Data Controls provides advanced Building Automation solutions that optimise HVAC, lighting and security management, automatically regulating climate control and lighting according to room occupancy.
This improves guest comfort while reducing energy costs and enhancing safety through integrated access-control and fire-alarm systems.
In high-end hotels, for example, guests can easily manage room temperature and lighting through touchscreen displays or dedicated apps.

SMART EVENT MANAGEMENT
Organising events requires careful coordination of multiple elements, including environmental comfort and access control.
Whether it is a conference room or a large event, temperature, lighting, ventilation and appropriate access management for organisers, visitors and guests all need to work seamlessly.
- Optimise HVAC and lighting using intelligent start/stop algorithms so that spaces are comfortable and ready when required.
- Manage attendance, authorised access, occupancy levels and environmental safety, supporting compliance with people-safety requirements and the accurate management of emergencies.
Intuitive interfaces, tablets and apps allow events to be planned, settings to be customised and comfort and safety to be monitored in real time.

SMART PARKING
As with all complex environments, parking management in hospitality facilities requires particular attention to safety.
Access must be monitored and both safety and ventilation levels must remain under control, especially in high-traffic areas such as underground car parks.
Data Controls systems monitor carbon-monoxide levels and automatically activate ventilation when required.
Integrated video surveillance and access-control solutions also allow entry and exit flows to be monitored and managed in real time, supporting a high level of safety.

FAQ
How can hotel guests independently control room temperature and lighting via touchscreen displays or apps, and what personalisation limits can the hotel set?
Guests can adjust room temperature and lighting using wall-mounted touchscreen displays such as enteliTOUCH or smartphone apps. The interface is designed to be simple and intuitive, with guest preferences handled automatically by the room-automation system. The property can define the limits within which guests can personalise settings, including permitted minimum and maximum temperature ranges, available lighting scenes and operating hours.
This provides a high level of perceived comfort while keeping settings within the facility’s energy targets and avoiding unnecessary consumption. When a guest leaves the room, detected through access-control systems or occupancy sensors, the system can automatically switch building services to standby mode and restore the appropriate conditions when the guest returns.
How does access control work for guests, service staff and suppliers in properties with multiple buildings or separate areas?
In complex hospitality facilities such as hotels, resorts with separate buildings, university campuses or conference venues, access management must be secure, flexible and transparent to users. The Data Controls system can define separate authorisation profiles for each category. Guests can access their room, common areas and services included in their booking; service staff are authorised for the operational areas relevant to their role; suppliers and maintenance personnel receive temporary credentials limited to the spaces and times required for their activities.
Management is centralised through a single platform, even across multiple buildings or separate parts of a property. Every access event is recorded, allowing front-office staff and management to monitor flows in real time and maintain a complete record for operational and security requirements.
How does building automation help optimise energy consumption in a hotel?
In hospitality, building automation primarily acts on two areas: HVAC and lighting control according to the actual occupancy of rooms and common areas, and intelligent plant start/stop management based on operating schedules, occupancy rates and external conditions. In unoccupied rooms, climate control and lighting can automatically switch to standby mode.
In common areas such as event rooms, restaurants, car parks and service spaces, systems adapt to actual occupancy levels, avoiding full operation during periods of low use. Continuous consumption monitoring makes it possible to identify anomalies and waste in real time and progressively optimise management logic. In properties where systems are not managed through a BEMS, reductions in energy consumption can be significant, with direct benefits for operating costs and the environmental footprint of the facility.
Is the solution scalable for hotel groups with multiple properties, with centralised management through a single platform?
Yes. Data Controls solutions are designed to support multi-property management, allowing hotel groups to supervise multiple facilities through a single centralised platform that can be accessed remotely. Energy performance, comfort levels, system status and usage data can be compared across different properties, operating logic can be standardised and remote intervention can be carried out at any facility without requiring physical presence.
