Key Card Energy Management System � The HS series Card Key Switch turns
electrical circuits on or off when a card key is inserted or removed from
the slot. The HS card key switches provide an easy solution to current
requirements in both the IECC and ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1, which now
require a master switch at the entrance of every new guestroom to control
the electrical circuits. Read more at http://www.pineapplehospitality.net/uploads/key_card_system.pdf.
6. Ozone Laundry Systems � Ozone Laundry
Systems inject ozone into cold water throughout the wash process. Ozone
reacts quickly by dividing organic molecules in the water and causing soils
to separate from fabric and disintegrate. The oxidization power of ozone
then sterilizes and deodorizes more effectively, less expensively and more
reliably than other methods, leaving no chemical residual.
With an ozone laundry system:
70-80% or more of the need for hot water is eliminated.
There is an average water savings of 25%.
Linen replacement costs can be reduced 50-66%.
Ozone opens up textile fibers to allow chemicals
to do a better job.
They extend the life of laundry equipment because
fewer wash cycles are needed.
Water quality and chemistry is more consistent.
Chemical consumption can be reduced by 20-25%.
Ozone improves sewage water quality by 30-50%.
Working conditions are better for employees because
the use of steam and hot water is reduced.
And cooler laundry facilities require less air-conditioning
to cool.
