Smart rooms use ECO, PRECOMFORT and COMFORT modes to reduce energy costs and improve the guest experience — without adding extra workload for staff.

Smart rooms: 3 modes that save energy and money

Most hotels make the same mistake.

They heat and cool rooms the same way - regardless of whether a guest is in the room or not.

The result? Costs go up, and the guest experience becomes a matter of luck.

Hologic smart rooms solve this simply - with three clearly defined modes based on the actual room status.


Three modes, three real moments


ECO mode - when the room shouldn’t consume energy

The room is empty. The system recognizes this and automatically:

  • reduces heating or cooling

  • turns off the lights

  • switches devices to energy-saving mode

You’re not paying for energy in a space no one is using.


PRECOMFORT mode - the room is ready before arrival

This is where guests feel the difference immediately. Before the guest even enters the room:

  • the temperature is already comfortable

  • the space feels “alive”

  • everything is ready

No walking into a cold or overheated room. No waiting for the HVAC to catch up. The first impression is instantly right.


COMFORT mode - when the guest is inside

The guest is in the room and everything works as expected:

  • temperature is stable

  • lighting is set

  • no manual adjustments needed

The room works quietly in the background - without the guest thinking about it.


How much empty rooms are really costing you

Hotels typically spend between 60 and 240 kWh per room annually just on climate control. A large portion of that goes to empty rooms. Not because it has to - but because the system doesn’t recognize room status. With automatic ECO mode:

  • energy savings range from 15% to 30%

  • no additional staff effort required

  • no impact on guest comfort

For a 50-room hotel, that means thousands of euros saved every year.


The guest experience starts before entry

Most hotels react only when the guest enters the room. But by then, the first impression is already lost.

PRECOMFORT changes that:

  • the guest walks into a ready room

  • no waiting

  • no discomfort

This isn’t luxury. It’s becoming the expected standard.


Operations that finally make sense

When the system knows the room status:

  • no guessing

  • no unnecessary actions

  • no wasted time

Your staff works with real information - not assumptions.


Conclusion

Three modes. One system. Clear logic.

  • ECO when the room is empty

  • PRECOMFORT before arrival

  • COMFORT when the guest is inside

Hologic smart rooms are not just about saving energy. They solve three key problems:

  • unnecessary costs

  • poor first impressions

  • operational inefficiencies

Every room in your hotel can work smarter - and stop generating unnecessary costs.
