Accelerate Upward is proud to be the first Honeywell channel partner in Virginia. Honeywell is the global leader in connected, building automation and Energy Management Systems, purpose-built for hospitality, senior living, and multi-family dwelling unit environments
Most properties condition empty rooms, heat unoccupied common areas, and run HVAC at full capacity around the clock. That waste adds up fast. Honeywell’s intelligent thermostats and building automation systems adjust in real time based on occupancy, time of day, and guest or resident preferences; delivering verified savings of up to 40% or more on utility costs with minimal impact to guest or resident comfort.
The ROI is fast. Most properties recover the cost of implementation through utility savings alone within 24 months.
Check out what Honeywell has delivered for other properties and imagine what those results look like on your operating statement.
Case Study - Washington Hilton • Washington, D.C.
A 6-month, independently metered study by the D.C. Sustainable Energy Utility confirmed that INNCOM's Networked EMS uses 41% less energy than a standalone system; 57% less than a traditional thermostat.
Key Findings
Guestroom HVAC Energy Use - kWh per Room
The Washington Hilton - a 1,107-room, 4-star property near Dupont Circle - wanted to quantify exactly how much additional energy savings a PMS-integrated, networked EMS would deliver over a standalone system.
Owner Clearview Hotel Capital partnered with Hilton and the D.C. Sustainable Energy Utility (DCSEU) to design a controlled, independently metered study. They didn't want Honeywell's own data. They wanted a third party to meter the same rooms.
The DCSEU team worked entirely independently from Honeywell, metering 8 test guestrooms over 6 months; including peak HVAC demand months (August and January). Rooms spanned different floors, building orientations, and configurations.
Three room types were compared: a traditional thermostat baseline, a Standalone EMS with door sensor, and a Networked EMS with door/window sensors integrated with the Hilton OnQ PMS via INNcontrol 3 software.
Study Details
The Networked EMS exceeded both performance and ROI expectations. The Standalone EMS delivers solid savings at lower upfront cost; the Networked EMS, integrated with the hotel PMS, delivers 2x the energy savings and a materially stronger return on investment.
Hotels with existing standalone systems are recommended to upgrade to Networked EMS. New properties should install Networked EMS with PMS integration from the start.
Results reported independently to Hilton and Clearview by the DCSEU - not by Honeywell.
