Popular Areas to Use Intelligent Shading in Hotels

1. Guest Rooms

Intelligent shading in hotel guest rooms ensures maximum comfort and energy savings. When direct sunlight hits the room, the sun protection closes shades automatically to keep the room cool and reduce the load on the air conditioning system. In the morning, guests can be gently awakened by natural light as the blinds or curtains slowly open at the desired time – a highlight for many guests that makes their stay even more pleasant.

2. Seminar Rooms

Flexible control of light and shade is crucial in meeting and conference rooms. Loxone enables you to use preset lighting and shading scenarios that can be selected at the touch of a button with the help of the Touch Pure Flex, for example. This allows you to control the incoming light during presentations and ensure optimal visibility of screens and projection surfaces.

3. Wellness and Spa Areas

In the wellness area, intelligent shading in hotels creates a relaxed atmosphere. When the sun is strong, Loxone automatically closes the shading to prevent overheating and ensure a comfortable temperature. Thanks to smart shading, guests not only enjoy pleasant temperatures, but also a controlled lighting atmosphere that enhances the relaxing effect. In addition, the right shading plays a decisive role in ensuring guests’ privacy.

4. Restaurant and Bar Area

Proper shading is also important in a hotel restaurant and bar. Here, blinds and awnings can be adjusted to suit the time of day and weather conditions, allowing guests to enjoy a pleasant atmosphere from early morning breakfast to a late night cocktail. The system also offers the option of minimizing sunlight and glare without compromising the view.

Advantages of Automated Shading in Hotels and Restaurants

• Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings: Intelligent control systems automatically adjust the shading to the amount of sunlight and the room temperature. This reduces the load on the air conditioning system and lowers energy consumption, which is a decisive advantage, especially when energy costs are high. Conversely, intelligent shading in hotels can also help to heat the room by automatically opening during daylight hours. This allows the room to be heated by sunlight, saving on heating costs.

• Guest Comfort: Guests can control the shading individually and adjust it to their needs, either via the Touch Pure Flex or the Loxone app. Even guests who are not tech-savvy will find this intuitive control system convenient.
• Seamless Integration: Loxone’s intelligent shading in hotels solutions can be perfectly integrated into the overall building management system and controlled centrally. In addition, Loxone can be installed quickly and flexibly – in both new and existing buildings.
• Ease for Employees: Loxone automates many processes, relieving hotel staff of numerous small and large tasks. This saves time and allows employees to focus on their core work. Should manual intervention still be necessary, this is easily possible thanks to the central and intuitive control via the app.
• Building Protection: Another advantage of automated shading is the protection of the building and the shading systems. External shading elements such as blinds and awnings are particularly susceptible to damage from frost or storms. With the help of a weather station, Loxone can react intelligently and automatically raise the shading in case of danger.
