Ramada Hotel Goes Green With Smart Automation

Ramada Hotel in Lucknow is set to create a greener footprint by reducing its energy consumption through centralized control of all its banquet room Lighting and Air Conditioning. BuildTrack, a Smart Automation and IoT (Internet of Things) products and solutions company, deployed its solutions for the hotel.

The advantage of BuildTrack’s energy efficiency solutions is that it works with Ramada’s existing switches, light fixtures and air conditioners irrespective of the brand. Using the latest in IoT technologies BuildTrack can retrofit existing spaces without disruption of any of the interior aesthetics and in very little time, which was an important factor for Hotels that are always busy and don’t like to experience disruption to their operations.

“The hospitality industry wants to serve customers better, but with lower costs and environmental impact. An important aspect of enabling that is to eliminate wastage of energy which is one of the highest cost items. Our solutions help hotels to manage their energy consumption and be greener while serving the needs of the customers better – the best of both worlds.” said Balbir Khera, CEO, BuildTrack.

Ramada as well as other hotels have a large number of distributed lights and air conditioners, which are hard to centrally control and hence result in substantial energy wastage, which this solution eliminates. The automation system allows control via central computers or even via Smart Apps from any remote location.
