How To Save Energy

Who doesn’t want to save energy?

Often people who do not pay for their energy costs are less than diligent in saving energy. Typical examples of these types of situations are: offices, construction site huts, hotels, nursing or residential care homes, student accommodation, and serviced offices. In these situations the occupier can leave the room with the heating running and worse, the windows open, which is where MACH takes control. People can also forget to switch off lights or appliances plugged into wall sockets because they are simply not thinking about the wasted electricity; here smart meters can help to educate and to automate.

The MACH^® room automation system:

Today the modern business has to be efficient, and service driven. With 1,000’s of things to control it is impossible for the business manager to remember them all. Here at MACH^® our computers never forget, and are focused on saving your energy, whilst giving your building occupiers a better experience. The rooms are heated to the right temperature, the security is subtle but strong, access is quick and simple to use, making the whole experience a pleasure. The MACH^® system will:-

• Automatically switches the heating or AC off, after a preset time, if a widow, or patio door is opened, will audibly draw the users attention to that fact, and display ‘own language’ carbon message, confirming your green policy.
• Automatically switches down the heating & the lights off, when the room is vacated
• Automatically puts the room into hibernation if it is not being used
• Automatically switch off water if taps are left on - saving precious resources
• Flood control, forced entry control, SOS control, staff entry control, staff shift control, etc.
• Text message, and web enabled, giving remote management of many key performance indicators

Combining these features we typically see savings of 30-38% in energy spend and we have had one case in a ski lodge hotel where the saving was an astonishing 70%. Click for testimonials and case studies.
