George Dfouni Hotelier Lists 6 Ways Technology Is Helping Hotels Go Green
George Dfouni Hotelier, feels technology is facilitating hotels to go green. With increasing travelers being concerned about the environment, hotels are employing smart solutions to conserve energy, water, and minimize waste—while providing excellent service. Here are six simple ways technology is helping hotels go green:
1. Smart Energy Systems Most hotels today have employed smart systems for switching lights, air conditioners, and heating. Such systems employ motion sensors and key cards to switch things on only when a person is present in the room. This saves electricity as well as reduces energy bills.
2. Water-Saving Tools Hotels consume a great deal of water for showers, toilets, laundry, and grounds maintenance. To save water, they're implementing low-flow shower heads, dual-flush toilets, and smart sprinklers that deliver water only as needed to plants. Certain systems even sense leaks and alert staff before water is wasted.
3. Paperless Check-In and Digital Keys Instead of plastic room keys or paper check-in forms, mobile room keys and digital check-in have become ubiquitous in most hotels. Guests can check in and unlock their doors with their cell phones. This reduces the use of paper and plastic and streamlines and accelerates procedures.
4. Smart Room Controls Guest rooms can be personalized to match various room settings, such as lights, temperature, and entertainment, through a smart device or control panel. Once the room is unoccupied, the systems will default to energy-saving mode. This saves electricity usage without compromising guest comfort.
5. Minimizing Food Waste Hotel eateries are using smart technology to manage food supplies and avoid wastage. The systems track the quantity of food eaten and help plan more efficiently for future meals. Extra food is recycled or donated to local charities by some hotels.
Clean Energy and Green Buildings Hotels are installing solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries to harness clean energy. Some employ green materials in construction, green roofs, and vertical gardens to decrease their carbon footprint. These innovations enable hotels to consume less fossil fuel and pave the way for a cleaner tomorrow.
Looking Ahead Technology is greening and making hotels more efficient. From energy and water savings to reducing waste and renewable power, intelligent solutions are transforming the operation of hotels. Greening is no longer difficult—it's smart, easy, and better for the world.
