EcoStruxure™ for Hotels enables Sofia Sea of Galilee Hotel to enhance sustainability and hotel efficiency, as well as deliver an elevated guest experience.

Sofia Sea of Galilee: Customer Story Key Figures

Located on the banks of the picturesque Sea of Galilee, the Sofia Hotel delivers an exceptional guest experience. Implementation of our future-ready EcoStruxure for Hotels solutions was made possible by a Master BMS EcoXpert™, Afcon Control & Automation. Sofia Hotel is now a leader in state-of-the-art hotel solutions – and a pioneer in sustainability and energy efficiency.

Hotels have the highest energy intensity of all commercial real estate classes. To retain a competitive edge and support global emissions targets by 2050, all existing hotel stock must begin transitioning to net-zero carbon. Produced in collaboration with Arup, Gleeds, and IHG, this white paper tackles this challenge for existing hotels, using a real-life case study to demonstrate the impact of each stage in the journey.

The Challenge

Seeking an end-to-end solution that enabled them to bring the past, present and future together, the Sofia Sea of Galilee Hotel looked to Schneider Electric to:  

  • Create an ecosystem, allowing maximum control over the entire property 
  • Easily integrate with their existing systems 
  • Minimise interruption during installation
  • Enhance the guest experience

The Solution

Edge Control: EcoStruxure Building Operation, EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert 

Connected Products: Hotel Room Controllers (HRC), SpaceLogic Glass Touch Panels, SpaceLogic AS-B and AS-P Controllers, SpaceLogic KNX 

At the centre of our end-to-end solution is EcoStruxure Building Operation, our next-generation building management system that integrates all the hotel’s electro-mechanical systems into a single control and management platform. Alongside EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert, our power monitoring software, the hotel gains valuable insights and actionable data to make more informed decisions. The guest experience is further enhanced by SpaceLogic Glass Touch Panels, which allows controlling room temperature, lighting, curtains, and services with ease.

The Results

As a result of the EcoStruxure solutions implemented by Afcon Control & Automation, the Sofia Sea of Galilee Hotel has realised multiple benefits for both their guests and themselves: 

  • An exceptional guest experience that begins at check-in when a controller turns on "welcome" lighting, comfortable room temperature, and even background music. From there, they can use the intuitive glass-touch panels, featuring guest-friendly customisable icons, to control the room's environment to their pleasure. 
  • Behind the scenes, EcoStruxure Building Operation has already translated into measurable outcomes, including a 10% savings in energy consumption and a 10% reduction in operations and maintenance labour expenses.
