Overview

Verdant occupancy, door and window sensors extend hotel guestroom energy management beyond the thermostat by providing additional room-status information that can help compatible Verdant controls respond more intelligently to actual guestroom conditions.

Depending on the application, Verdant sensor options can support occupancy detection, open-door or open-window detection, and remote temperature sensing as part of a broader hospitality energy-management strategy.

• Occupancy Sensing

  Occupancy sensing is a core part of Verdant’s guestroom energy-management approach.

  Verdant thermostats use occupancy information to determine when a room is occupied or vacant, allowing the system to apply setback strategies when the room is unoccupied while maintaining guest comfort when the room is in use.

  Additional occupancy sensors can help expand sensing coverage in guestrooms where thermostat location alone may not provide ideal detection.

  Door & Window Sensing

  Verdant wireless door and window sensors can detect when an exterior door or window is opened.

  In compatible applications, this information can help the energy-management system reduce unnecessary heating or cooling while the opening remains open.

  That can be especially useful for:

  • Balcony doors
  • Exterior guestroom doors
  • Operable windows
  • Patio doors
  • Resort guestrooms
  • Properties in hot or humid climates

  Remote Temperature Sensing

  Remote temperature sensors can provide temperature information from a location separate from the thermostat.

  This can be useful when:

  • The thermostat is mounted away from the primary occupied area
  • Room layout creates temperature differences
  • HVAC equipment location affects thermostat readings
  • More representative room-temperature sensing is needed

  Connected Energy Management

  Sensors can work together with compatible Verdant thermostats and controls to create a more complete picture of guestroom conditions.

  Depending on system design, that may include:

  • Occupancy status
  • Door or window position
  • Guestroom temperature
  • Thermostat activity
  • HVAC operation
  • Energy-management setback logic

  This allows the Verdant system to respond to more than just a thermostat set point.

  Best Fit For

  Verdant sensor solutions are well suited for:

  • Hotels and resorts
  • Guestrooms with balconies or operable windows
  • Large or irregularly shaped rooms
  • Suites
  • Resort properties
  • Energy-management retrofit projects
  • Connected guestroom applications
  • Properties seeking improved occupancy detection

  HEC Support

  HEC Group can help determine which Verdant sensors are appropriate for each guestroom application.

  HEC services can include:

  • Sensor selection
  • Room-layout review
  • Thermostat and sensor placement
  • Installation
  • Wireless pairing
  • System configuration
  • Commissioning
  • Testing
  • Troubleshooting
  • Ongoing technical support

  HEC helps ensure sensors are installed and configured as part of a complete Verdant energy-management system rather than treated as isolated devices.
