Independent study: GreenSwitch Saves Hotel 36% on Energy

Cleveland, OH, November 06, 2008 --(PR.com)-- A recent independent report performed by Intergy Corporation for Pasadena Water and Power summarizes the results of a recent field test performed at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena, California. The purpose of the field test was to determine energy reduction in the hotel’s guest rooms using a GreenSwitch Energy Control System. The GreenSwitch system is designed to control energy consumption in hotel rooms based on the room’s occupancy status.

The system determines if a hotel room is vacant or occupied by inserting the room key in the GreenSwitch, and based on this occupancy condition, the system automatically shuts off controlled lights and sets the operating range of the in-room HVAC system to an occupied or unoccupied condition. Four rooms were chosen to be monitored. Two were retrofitted with GreenSwitch and two were used as control rooms. The results documented here are based on comparing rooms 161 (GreenSwitch Equipped Room) and 165 (Control Room). The HVAC usage was analyzed over a period of twenty-five days. The GreenSwitch equipped room used 36% less energy for HVAC than the control room. With the implementation of GreenSwitch technology is all 380 rooms, the hotel could save 681,849 kWh annually. The kWh reduction monitored during the test period correlates to similar studies which have shown savings between 25% and 45%.

GreenSwitch will be represented by Magnum Global Energy LLC and the GreenSwitch Group, and will attend the International Hotel/Motel & Restaurant Show in New York, November 8-11 2008 in booth 3084
