Running a hotel is all about balance. Guests expect comfort, convenience, and great service but operators need to watch costs carefully to stay profitable. One of the best ways to boost margins is through energy savings and smart monitoring tools.

Hotels can save money on maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) supplies. They can do this by using modern sensors and working with Entegra, a Group Purchasing Organization (GPO). This helps protect both the property and guest experiences. Here are simple, real-world examples of how these tools add up to major savings.

1. Leak Detection: Stopping Damage Early

Even a small water leak can become a big problem fast. Rooms may go offline, repairs can add up, and unhappy guests may leave negative reviews.

• Hotel Example: A hidden wall leak is caught within minutes.
• Savings: $20,000+ in drywall, flooring, and lost room revenue.

Early leak detection keeps rooms open and prevents costly emergencies.

2. Energy Monitoring: Lowering Utility Bills

Hotels spend a lot on energy, especially with HVAC systems running around the clock. Energy monitoring helps find waste and cut costs.

• Hotel Example: HVAC units are found running overnight with no guests.
• Savings: 15–20% reduction in yearly utility bills.
• Hotel Example: Energy data helps qualify for rebates and incentives.
• Savings: $50,000+ in efficiency rewards.

This isn’t just about lower bills, it also supports sustainability goals that guests value.

3. Vibration Sensors: Avoiding Equipment Breakdowns

Hotel equipment like chillers, pumps, and fans work hard behind the scenes. When they fail, costs rise and comfort drops.

• Hotel Example: Bearing wear in a chiller fan is caught before summer heat hits.
• Savings: $50,000+ in last-minute service calls and guest complaints.

Proactive monitoring keeps operations smooth and avoids costly downtime.

4. Temperature & Humidity Sensors: Keeping Guests and Assets Safe

Hotels need the right climate for both people and property.

• Hotel Example: Rooms stay at proper humidity, preventing mold and complaints.
• Savings: $20,000+ in cleanup and reputation damage.
• Hotel Example: Walk-in coolers stay within range.
• Savings: $5,000–$10,000 in spoiled food costs per incident.

Better control means fewer problems, more comfort, and higher guest satisfaction.

5. Asset Tracking: Saving Time and Preventing Loss

Hotels manage countless items, from cleaning carts to banquet equipment. Losing track of them costs money and slows staff.

• Hotel Example: High-value items are tracked across sites.
• Savings: $50,000+ in theft and replacement costs.

With asset tracking, employees spend less time searching and more time serving guests.
