ATLANTA � JAN. 18, 2004 � Onity / Senercomm® is introducing yet another electronic solution to help hoteliers reduce guestroom energy waste�and thus reduce operating costs�while at the same time enhancing guestroom comfort levels. According to Pascal Metivier, Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing for Onity, the new SensorStat® 2000x product release will allow even small and mid-size hotel properties and those with older PTAC (packaged terminal air conditioners) the opportunity to install a state-of-the-art, technically advanced energy-management solution in their guestrooms. �What is unique about the SensorStat® 2000x is that it can be adapted to older PTAC units,� Metivier said. �Before the advent of this new technology, the old PTAC units could not interface with modern energy-management systems. The SensorStat® 2000x eliminates that problem.� The SensorStat® 2000x energy-management unit is designed to reduce energy waste in hotel guestrooms by automatically setting HVAC temperatures to an energy-saving level�or setback�when a guest leaves his or her room. Even more unique is a feature that enables the SensorStat® 2000x to automatically set guestroom temperature to an even more energy- and cost-saving level in guestrooms that are unoccupied for an extended period of time. �We're extremely excited about the release of the new SensorStat®
2000x,� he said. �Part of what sets this new product apart from other solutions
is that its affordability and rapid return-on-investment will enable even
small budget hotels to reap the benefits of a top-quality, state-of-the-art
energy management solution�an advantage formerly available mostly to higher-end
properties with higher cash flow.�
Metivier added, �This is true for all hotels, of course, but especially for those in the budget and economy segments, where cost-cutting measures are limited and cash-flow problems are magnified. The SensorStat® 2000x can now help operators of any size property reduce guestroom energy use by as much as 30 percent�and that adds up to significant savings.� Greg Plank, President of Worldwide Travel Marketing, an Atlanta-based
technology and operations consulting firm, said that what effective energy-management
systems save in energy costs can pay for those systems in as little as
18 to 24 months. He said this is a key factor in making the new SensorStat®
2000x an attractive investment for all hotel operators�and, given the new
product�s affordability, a truly viable investment for budget- and economy-hotel
operators. Furthermore, Plank said, it�s apparent that a top-notch energy-management
system is becoming more a necessity than an option.
�The SensorStat® product series has been the long-standing core of our energy management product offering, with a record of proven reliability and performance,� Metivier added. �We are confident the new SensorStat® 2000x will only enhance the entire product line�s reputation. Its highly competitive price makes the SensorStat® 2000x a sure bet for a quick return on investment and a new �best buy� for hoteliers looking for an economical solution to energy management.� About Onity
