The Challenge:
‍Balancing Guest Comfort with Resource Management

Hotel owners and operators face distinct challenges in managing water consumption and room temperatures:
Tell Us About Your Challenges
Guest Thermal Comfort is Paramount:
Guests arrive with elevated expectations, desiring a "home-like atmosphere" and a "luxurious, spa-like experience" characterised by consistent and reliable water temperatures.
Temperature is a Significant Source of Complaints:
Issues pertaining to both in-room air temperature and water temperature constitute a substantial portion of overall guest dissatisfaction. Temperature control problems account for 19% of all reported guest issues, making them a considerable segment of guest grievances.
Hidden Water Waste:
Leaks, inefficient fixtures, or excessive usage can lead to significant, often undetected, water waste and escalating costs.
Energy-Intensive HVAC & Water Heating:
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and hot water generation are major energy consumers in hotels, with HVAC alone potentially accounting for as much as 40% of a hotel's total energy usage. Inefficient operation leads to unnecessary energy expenditure.
Fluctuating Demand:
Water and temperature demands vary significantly with occupancy rates, time of day, and seasonal changes. Without real-time data, it's challenging to adapt operations to these fluctuations efficiently.
Health and Safety Risks:
Inconsistent water temperatures can pose dual risks: dangerously high temperatures can cause scalding, while excessively low temperatures can create environments conducive to the growth of harmful bacteria like Legionella.
Sustainability & Cost Pressures:
Growing environmental awareness and rising utility costs push hotels to find smart solutions for resource conservation.

The Augos Solution: Precision Monitoring for Optimal Performance

Augos empowers hospitality operators to maintain ideal water and room temperature thresholds through real-time, granular monitoring and intelligent automation, ensuring guest satisfaction and optimising resource use.
Request a Solutions Demo
Precise Temperature & Humidity Monitoring:
Deploy wireless, battery-operated sensors to continuously monitor and log temperature and humidity within guest rooms, common areas, and critical equipment spaces. This ensures environments remain within desired comfort thresholds and helps identify areas of inefficiency.
Water Consumption Monitoring:
Integrate with water measurement data to gain comprehensive insights into water usage patterns across your property. This allows for early detection of leaks, identification of high-consumption areas, and implementation of water-saving initiatives.
Real-Time Data Insights & Alerts (60-second updates):
All collected data is transmitted every 60 seconds to the Augos cloud platform, providing real-time visibility into water flow and temperature performance. Configurable alerts via SMS, email, and WhatsApp ensure immediate notification of any critical issues, such as sudden temperature drops, prolonged high water flow, or equipment malfunctions.
Optimisation of HVAC & Chiller Systems:
By sub-metering HVAC systems and chillers for electricity usage, combined with temperature and flow monitoring, Augos enables you to track cooling/heating loads and identify inefficient cycles or temperature imbalances. This data supports adjusting set-points and optimising usage, leading to significant energy savings.
Proactive Maintenance via Data:
Augos' real-time data identifies equipment faults and operational drift within HVAC systems, which are common causes of guest discomfort. This enables a shift from reactive to proactive and predictive maintenance, reducing unplanned downtime and costly emergency repairs.
Historical Data for Trend Analysis & Compliance:
Augos never deletes data. Every data point is stored and remains accessible, enabling in-depth analysis of seasonal trends, operational patterns, and the long-term effectiveness of comfort and water-saving measures. This is invaluable for compliance and auditing.

Description

Benefits for Hotel Owners & Operators

Wireless Temperature & Humidity Sensors
Battery-operated sensors deployed to continuously monitor and log temperature and humidity in guest rooms, cold rooms, and other critical areas.
Ensures critical temperature thresholds are maintained for guest comfort and food safety, preventing spoilage and preserving quality.
Water Consumption Measurement
Integration with water measurement systems provides comprehensive insights into water usage patterns.
Optimises water consumption, detects leaks, and enables the implementation of water-saving initiatives to reduce costs and enhance sustainability.
Chilled Water/Thermal Monitoring
Deployment of Pulse Sensors to read BTU values from chilled water systems, providing accurate thermal energy data for cooling efficiency.
Accurately monitors cooling efficiency, allowing for optimisation of chiller operation and contributing to guest comfort by ensuring consistent climate control.
Smart Triggers & Real-Time Alerts
Configure intelligent alerts that notify staff instantly (SMS, email, WhatsApp) when temperatures or water flow deviate from set thresholds or when operational parameters drift out of specification.
Enables rapid response to issues, preventing minor problems from escalating into significant guest complaints or costly system failures. This minimises risk and maintains quality.
Advanced Data Analytics
The Augos platform processes real-time data for detailed analysis and visualisation through customisable dashboards and reports. Data is available at 1-minute intervals and aggregated for trend analysis.
Provides deep insights into energy and water consumption patterns, allowing for identification of inefficiencies, optimisation of schedules, and informed decision-making for resource management.
HVAC System Monitoring (Electrical)
Sub-metering of HVAC systems for electricity consumption helps track energy usage and identify inefficiencies, preventing unnecessary heating and cooling cycles or equipment running in the wrong mode.
Reduces energy waste (HVAC can be 40% of hotel energy use) and ensures systems operate optimally for guest comfort and cost savings.
