hotel business

Meeting the travel boom with more services for guests and more energy efficiency for the environment.

The Moxy Hotel is located in the immediate vicinity of Cologne Airport. Its pentagonal shape and avant-garde façade are inspired by the design language of the terminal, which was designed in the 1970s. The hotel is located on a former airport car park. It has a gross floor area of 10,000 square metres with 250 rooms, a lobby bar, a restaurant, five conference rooms and a fitness area. The top floor has large glass panels offering a panoramic view of the grounds and the airport apron. The hotel, which belongs to the Marriott Group, uses innovative sensor technology from STEINEL in its rooms.

The True Presence® Multisensor detects whether or not a guest is in their room. The heating and air conditioning are controlled accordingly.

The IR Quattro MICRO installed in the room's entrance area registers when a guest enters their room and automatically controls a welcome scenario.

More comfort, more efficiency, less CO2

The IR Quattro MICRO ceiling sensor takes over the task of the usual key card holder at the room entrance. It controls the automatic switching on of selected lights as part of a welcome scene to greet the guest. The True Presence® Multisensor KNX installed under the ceiling precisely detects whether a guest is in the room or not. Accordingly, the heating and air conditioning are controlled in an energy-efficient manner between a comfort mode when the guest is present and an ECO mode when the guest is absent.

"As the name suggests, it offers real presence and a little bit more. When you consider the possibilities that arise from the range of functions and technical features, the device builds bridges that a system integrator could dream of."
