Meeting the travel boom with better guest service and demand-based building control.

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.

Overview

A sensor-controlled energy management system can reduce energy consumption compared with a system that is not demand-responsive, whilst at the same time enhancing guest comfort.

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.

Greater comfort through demand-based room control

The IR Quattro MICRO ceiling sensor takes over the function of the conventional key-card holder at the room entrance. It controls the automatic switching on of selected lights as part of a welcome scene for the guest. The True Presence® Multisensor KNX installed on the ceiling detects precisely whether a guest is in the room. Depending on occupancy, the heating and air-conditioning system automatically switches between a comfort mode when the guest is present and an ECO mode when the room is unoccupied.

"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."
