Handle air conditioning and heat smartly

Air conditioning is by far the biggest cost in summer. A smart thermostat that turns down when windows are open or nobody is present saves significantly. Good insulation, sun shading and shutters keep the heat out. A better energy label often means lower costs too.

Small changes, big effect

Replace lighting with led, place motion sensors in hallways and use a water-saving boiler setting. Kindly ask guests to switch off the air conditioning at departure; you can also handle this automatically between bookings. Link smart devices to your management so everything turns off after checkout.
